Tri-tip cooks really fast. I usually smoke it on the kettle for about an hour then sear over the coals. Also if you slice it against the grain it'll be even more tender.
I like my MES, but I'd rather smoke with charcoal and wood chunks. There's just something about playing with fire. If you got 500 to play with, get yourself a cheaper MES (30") and a Weber kettle, there you'll have the best of both worlds. You can almost do anything there is with just those 2 units.
Have to agree with Al and MossyMO, you'll be fine. I would attempt to get it back rounder and it shouldn't be that hard. Once you get this thing rolling and learn how to use it by experience you're gonna love it.
Well, I'm no expert but 5 hours without foiling may be the problem. Pretty much everyone foils in the middle of the smoke and that seems to be the key to good ribs. 2-2-1, 3-2-1, or some variation, try it and see what happens.
Like you I am relatively new to making burnt ends. Last time I did them I hit 'em with a little rub, and then some Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce. Smoked those for another 90 minutes and pulled them. I was impressed. Good luck! Liked Rivet's remarks as well, we just keep getting better as we go.
