spi classic vs spi kit trumpet

Hi all,

after 6 month of life of my second hand hobiecat I am ready to get feeling of sailing using the spi.

Can anyoneknow suggest to me if it better to sail with the spi classic or with the spi kit trumpet. Is the spi classic so less confortable than the otherone ?

I saw the prices and both of them are very expensive from hobiecat price list. Do you think that it would be cheaper to go for a compatible spi made from a third part? I saw one new made with AIRX 700 premium nylon in two colors at around 600 dollars.


And for the spi pole, Spi pole bridle HC15/16, Spi block H114 and all other accessories included in the original version, any chance to find them from a third part and spend less ?

thanks for the advice.
