New XPert Xpole vs Old style Titanium Xpole??

Hello everyone, love the forum! Everyone gives such wonderful advice and people here are "nice" 😀 I'm about to get my very first pole and it shall definitely be an X-Pole. Have seen the new posts and things about it and it seems like there are alot of problems with the new Xpert poles. It seems like a good idea but I'm not sure if I'd rather go with something that's tried true and works. What's your opinion on it? Anyone that's used/own both/either? There's the Xpert Chrome ($550) & Old style Xpole Titanium ($600). 50mm wanted. Either way I'm still spewing because the exchange rate isn't THAT much okay?? Everythings is just ridiculously marked up in Australia *sigh* <3<3 M
