 ::) Just remember, someone has just had one stolen... So proof of ownership would be nice if buying second hand! ;)
As for 60ft experience... I have none, sorry I can't be of help :'(

60ft from ionic's very good but very heavy 11.5kg, will last you year's,My old bosses won was used for six year's approx 20-30 times a week and was still going strong before i left.
The 60 pole i use is about 9kg but very similar to ionics and that will go on for year's too.
The xtel carbon fibre pole is very very good STEVE UK has got won and he swear's by it.
gxtel 59ft - 282cm - 1786cm - 61ft - 6.67Kg

when i was looking around at poles the xtel60 was the lightest telescopic pole with the shortest sections by a mile (6FT sections), it fits inside my transporter lwb easily, imao telescopic is best for residential

if you have a commercial office block to do i would recommend a modular pole just for its light weight, but i havent used one but others swear by them

 where did you get your pole from? i cant see that being much different from the superlite at a fraction of the price?

do the sections get stuck together?

hi, made it my self not very hard, i clean a man who sells carbon fibre fishing poles he sold me a 16m one for £70.00 including bag, so rigid when exstended, i brought 2 so i have spare bits incase it brakes,
when the sun is out because it is black it heats up which is good in these cold days
