First new analog tach I bought from the dealer for my old 115 read high by about 300 rpm, leading me to buy the wrong prop! At least they gave me another tach after they tested the first one. I'd have dealer check your tach accuracy before you buy a prop!

I think trailing cup is typical of a bow lifting prop that's normally used for max WOT speed. I believe a stern lifter will have a lot of cup in the tip, although any 4B prop will give extra stern lift.
