I'm rather fond of the cafe knot. It, too, fits the criteria of creating the knot from the skinny end, and using up more of the tie. It's not quite as complicated, but still still gives an extra bit of flair that you just can't get with a Windsor or four-in-hand:

Note that I'm wearing one of my mid-rise, everyday kilts that's sort of standing in as a makeshift dress kilt until I can order more fabric (hopefully next week ). That one will be full-rise, so obviously I'll have to make the tie even shorter...or else just tuck it in if I'm wearing a waistcoat like Tobus suggested.
