What you need is lightness which you can get from a modular sl2 or a fishing pole, what you cannot get with a modular is telescopicisity thats where a sl-x comes in. I have 3 Harris poles but, they are good for starters, but I  dont use them now for windows. The base sections of modulars are strong. Maybe Alex could make a hybrid- a fourish  section telescopic that then fits on top of the base sections of the modular. I would buy one if it could also fit ontop of the F16 or M16  8)

i love my harris pole its cost me bugger all and ive made plenty of cash using it.
its only fall down is that it only collaspes down to around six foot. its light
as i want it to be with superlight brush on end and find the small amount of flex its got useful when using nearly horizontal

i would try an slx though if i had any work 30ft or above

Telescopicisity? Have you invented a word Jeff? Try saying it when you've had a few beers. I am struggling and am currently sober. >:( ??? I probably need to be lubricated to pronounce it properly. ;D

may have been me who said that :) but i still want an 18ft slx when the clamps and mechanisms have been improved.
i am a fan of the pole its the future,gives the other half's a chance to help us out.
in fact Alex is going to send me one .......i think.
