Three choices I believe:
S2 - the lightest but modular, hose on the outside
Supermax - very similar to the SLX stronger than an S2
Extreme - expensive, telescopic but the best of both worlds

I think that there are only 2 real ways to go.

 Either the sl2 but you are maxed out on height as I believe that they only go upto 56ft pole length. With this it's modular so a little tricky to use but the absolute lightest and most rigid.

Or the  xtreme. Telescopic upto I think about 56 ft but after that you add modular sections. About as rigid and light as the sl2 and not as fragile. I think this is the perfect pole but maybe hard to justify spending so much for just one job, but it is the best pole for that height.

The smax although a good pole compared to the competition isn't in the same legue when it comes to rigidity. Alex sent me a picture or the smax and the xtreme both extended next to each other, the difference in rigidity is incredible.
