Ive got a 25ft slx, wanted something inbetween that and my bigger pole so got the 35ft, after recieving it 2 sections of my 25ft broke so I ordered a new 25ft and a extra 2 sections for my old slx so I got a spare, so for the rest of the day I had too use the 35ft which still was a breeze and cant imagine doing that with any other 35ft pole....
