[C320-list] Whisker Pole selection

I intend to purchase a Forespar whisker pole this year and mast mount it for storage. This site has some great info on mounting and use of the pole. What I'm having difficulty with is deciding which pole to buy - an LC 10-18 or a Tri Reacher. I will use it mostly to pole out my 135 headsail but would like the option of being able to pole out my Asym in light-medium air to sail deeper downwind. The Tri Reacher is designed for this but at max 22 feet (and a few pounds heavier) seems like overkill for the 320, plus I don't think it has the Line Control feature. Has anyone used the LC 10-18 with their Asym and have any recommendations on which would be the best overall choice? 
Thanks,
