I still maintain my belief that the mk2 extreme was the best for 25ft and under. Those metal bands were genius, never ever had to adjust the clamps , reduced wear and super light.
Wish Alex would bring them back as an option.
The mk3 is stiffer, but it wears out so ridiculously fast it’s almost false economy now.
I still snapped 2 sections of the metal band mk2s....
They did slide easier though...
