sounds like the best and cheapest way to find out...

do the same to 27' and you can see  8)

Get the 27, that way you have extra reach
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

I have an SLX30 and an SLX22. (not the latest extreme jobbies, but 2007 and 2010 versions.

On a run of 5 off 1960's town houses I use the SLX 30 at the front, doing all the tops only - the ground drops away a bit and it lets me stand well back, work over cars etc. Then I drop a section to make it a 25ft and do all middles and bottoms and then all the backs where I stand a bit closer and the ground rises a couple of feet.

But if there are two of us working I do all the front tops and my man Dan uses the SLX22 to finish the fronts while I do the backs.

But some very modern three storey jobbies and an SLX22 is fine.

If you had an SLX30 then I would just drop a section - can you do that with your present pole?
It's a game of three halves!

For reference the X-tel Hybrid 27ft is 10cm longer when closed than an SL-X30ft when closed so the SL-X should fit into the van more easily  ;D  - full details below:

X-Tel Hybrid27 - 1.80m long closed - 6 sections - 8.40m long - Handle Diameter 42mm - Weight 2.38kg
SL-X30ft         - 1.70m long closed - 6 sections - 9.00m long -  Handle Diameter 37mm - Weight 1.70kg
