Just a thought on this, the Reach-it pole on eBay at the start of this thread is advertised as 25ft reach not length, it's also 2.2kgs which is heavy compared to an slx or clx or even an elite. Although I have seen some videos showing the strength of the pole sections, and I must say that they look solid, but I still wouldn't want to buy a heavier and shorter pole. slx xtreme all the way for me.
