A comparison of the compact and non-compact lattice versions of the low-energy theory of graphene is presented. The compact theory is found to exhibit a chiral phase transition which appears to be of first order, at a critical coupling of beta_c = 0.42 +/- 0.01. We confirm that the non-compact theory exhibits a second-order transition at beta_c = 0.072 +/- 0.003, and determine the effects of UV-divergent tadpole contributions in both cases. Upon tadpole improvement of the non-compact theory we find beta_c^{TI} = 0.163 +/- 0.002, which strengthens the case for a semimetal-insulator transition in graphene at strong Coulomb coupling. Finally, we highlight the need for systematic studies using improved lattice actions.
