sorry if i seem presistent over this, cant seem to make my mind up!
tlwcs, how big is your tubeless main pole now,
if i understand right your advising that the slx would be better then the extreme, i already have a 47 extreme i know they are weakly built absoultly no way id get a extreme 25 as a bread and butter pole.
what i was asking is out of a SLX 25 and a tubeless 25 what would you get?
FFS, I can't help you

I have always used an 18' slx with a 30' slx on the van for the windows that were just out of the 18 reach.
3 months ago i bought the extreme 22', an amazing pole, but just a bit too delicate for everyday domestic, IMO I saw the tubeless range and for the money thought I would give the 22' a go making my extreeme the spare pole and the 18' now available to sell. I also had the 30 slx converted to the tubeless system.
Which would I advise you to buy? I can't tell you. The tubeless was delivered Xmas eve and the slx was converted last Monday.
I don't start back until tomorrow so have not used the Ex-ceed pole
You are a Gardiners customer and know about their customer service, Steve at Ex-ceed is venturing into the pole market and has come up with a pole to challenge the SLX range, again IMO. The Aqua-dapta is rated and if the tubeless system keeps the back of the van drier, then its a winner in my eyes.
I will give a review after a week or two of the ex-ceeds daily use.
Sorry I can't be any more help but I did respond initially because you said you needed a pole for tomorrow.
