Without sounding big headed, money for a pole isnt an issue... just want the best on the market.
Has to be the Extreme then
At 27' I'm not sure extreme is the 'best'
Lightest-yes. Best (IMO) no. It's the slx
Do you have an Extreme? I have both the Extreme and the SLX, for me there is no doubt the Extreme is a better pole, one of the biggest advantages with the Extreme is the raised clamping sections, meaning extending and collapsing the pole is a lot smoother/quicker, with this in mind and the lightness of the pole I reckon I do an extra £20 - £40 per day of work.
Yes. I have 2 SLX's and an Extreme.
I love the extreme between 30' and 55(ish)' no better pole at that height imo.
Longer, the Swift+ (Ionic) is better.
Shorter, the robustness of the SLX beats the lightness and rigidity of the extreme for me.
But i guess thats why theres a choice, 'cause we will all want different things from poles.
