yay congrats on talking the SO into allowing you to get a pole, it took me ages but hey if you want something bad enough!!
i went out and got the XPERT in 50mm, i only had 3-4 lessons prior but the addiction set in. The pole is up within 10 minutes so there is no problem time wise.
the only thing i'm not sure about is the spinning option which i've used a few times but with my limited experience i cannot control the speed and therefore tend to get dizzy!!
hope this helps and enjoy your new pole whatever you choose x
