When i was looking for a pole (although my budget is slightly under yours) i narrowed my list down to the following:

Maver 151 competition
Maver 201 competition
Shimano Exage AX
Maver Messiah
Garb Prem Legion

hoping i could grab a bargain on ebay i kept bidding and in the end get the shimano for £220 what a bargain!
i also read alot on these poles and read some bad things about maver, yet i have also read many good things about maver. My mate has had a Maver Messiah for about 18months and i can honestly say he has had no problems at all with it. i wouldnt have any problem buying a maver and would have full confidence in one.
Ah right, i was also looking at the Maver 201 on ebay at the moment for £89 but there is 6 days still, anyway dont have the money until i sell one of my air rifles or my greys prodigy specialist and shimano 8000 gte-b reels

Is it really heavy at 16m or 14.5m?

People have been saying how great the Exage is, but i want something a bit different but still have the same quality and it really has to be 16m
