i,ve got asupermax 40 and i would,nt want to use it all day , but i use just 4 sections of it nearly all the time and just add the others for the odd high window , i,ve also got the slx 22 and i much prefer to use 4 sections of the supermax even though the sections are longer , its the supermax compact , i had a clx 27 before and i reallywould urge anyone to make the step up because the difference in my opinion is immense , having said all that i,m seriously thinking about getting the extreme 25 as i seriosly think you must have the best pole available , by the way i,m 54 and only want to do this job the easiest way possible regards alan
