but a design choice has made us go with a vertical tip like in this image

But i can't seem to get the same effect where the filet curves down toward the middle of the piece.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you calling the long curved part the "fillet" or are you referring to the chamfers?

is this the type of thing you want?

Here's the file from the pic.

Basic steps-

-use project set to bodies and project the object into a new sketch (those are the red lines in the second sketch).  Shortcut for project is "P".

-use a spline to make a nice curve.  curvature comb helps with the "nice" part.  one end has a smooth constraint to make the transition smooth.

-mirror spline.

-use extrude to cut the sides of object out.

Legend, thank you so much. This was starting to really bother me, you learn something every day.
