I'm having problems seeing where any other telescopic pole outperforms a facelift - no I haven't got one but I will definitely be looking into getting one soon.
Its the practicality of removable sections that does it for me (along with the rigidity and lightness).
Only thing I don't like is the price!
I like you already Alan

As stated, removable sections is such a great feature, one pole, any length you like at any time, in no time, with no tools required. just slip 'em on & off. I would never buy another telescopic pole above 24ft without it now.

P.S. once you receive your carbon facelift the price tag just becomes a distant memory

P.S (again) Alex G has a new carbon telescopic pole coming out soon (maybe Jan). It sounds very, very, good. might be worth the short wait.
