I would second that - get a CLX 27 from Gardiners.
3'rd that!
Bought one last month just to see me through and save my Smax, and althought they are a bit whippy at full extension, they are a great pole for everyday use. The weight is superb, and for 2 storey work they are superb.
Anything 3 storey or over an extension, they cause a bit of strain through the flex, but, as an affordable pole, thats light and short collapsed length, they are very good.
