Hey all - some advice needed please
I currently use a CLX18 for everyday use. But on bigger jobs I have an old and very tired green XTEL27 (which is about 3 foot shorter cause it split a while back and I had to cut off the offending piece); this is now in dire need of a replacement. I also have a monster of a Brodex 36 Ally pole which I have to use on a few 3 storey houses where the top floor is set back behind the bay windows.
Now my question is should I go for the CLX27- which will do me for 97% of my bigger domestic work- but still won't get the biggest 3 storey jobs mentioned above; or should I jump in and get the SLX35 and use that for everything above what can't be reached by my trusty CLX18. The SLX35 is only 250g heavier than the CLX27; however, I am also looking at prices of £227.00 against £497.00 (this may also increase if I need to add a carbon gooseneck) which is a real stretch for me on the cash front.
I only use the Brodex on approximately 8 houses per month but it's really killing me every time I have to pull the thing out to use - it really is a **** of a pole to use and weighs a ton.
All advice welcome please
Thanks in advance
Tom

If that was me I would go for the SLX35. Trust me, the extra expense is worth it a million times over! ;)

buy a slx30 for everyday and buy another section to make a slx35 when you need it! ;)
