Vinyl Express Qe60+ blade help

After getting my order straightened out, the company sent me a free 60 degree blade for my troubles. But the problem is it doesn't fit into the holder I have. Its a lot thicker. Here is what they sent me, 60 degree (left) and my original 45 degree on the right.

Since they sent it to me free, I don't really feel like going through the hassle of sending it back (assuming that is even an option). I'm assuming I need a different holder or a blade that will fit my existing holder. Based on a quick search, it looks like a blade will be cheaper, but since I now have 2 blades of the thicker variety, I'm thinking the holder is the way to go.

What holder (specific size?) do I need to get so that I can use the other blades? And where would ya'll recommend ordering from since I don't like the signwarehouse price associated with the blade holders? Was hoping I Amazon prime one, but I can't find any with prime shipping.

If I go the new blade route, what size do I need? I see some are labeled .9 and 1.5mm. I'm assuming my 45 is a .9?

Thanks. I didn't even realize they were different lengths until I was reading the comments just now, lol.

We just ordered another 60 degree blade from SW last week. The 45 is for the Blue tip holder, you will need the red tip for the new 60.

We were informed that the new 60degree blades do not work with the older normal Blue tip holders.

We had to buy a different (newer) red tip holder for the new60 degree blade, no biggie for us but it was nice for them to explain that to us when we placed the order.

Talked to SW and they said that in fact, they did send the wrong blade. Sent me the correct one that fit the blue holder at no charge.
