New pole - help!?! (Xpert Xpoles)

I will be ordering my first pole this week 😀 I have pretty much decided on a 45mm. I thought I had decided on a chrome X-pole Expert... untilllllll.... I realized that they have the limited edition Stainless Steel poles available. Now I am torn with a few questions: 1. Will the Chrome pole chip or peel? 2. Is there a huge difference in grip between the SS and Chrome? (I'm quite sweaty lol) 3. I live in Texas, so it's pretty dry... will that make a difference, too? I don't mind having a few poles (eventually lol) but now I need to order one to get my practice on 😉 and I would hate to miss out on the X-pole SS limited time offer... ya know. Having said all that, I also refuse to spend money on a pole that will just chip and peel... my buddy has a electra pole (which is horribly cheap, but it's a novelty for him -- yeah, bachelor lol) and I know they're cheap and all, but it started to chip and peel!! It looks horrible, so it made me wonder if the Xpoles Chrome chips at all... Also, I heard the SS is very slippery. I don't want to get the SS and not be able to use it becuase it's practically impossible! although -- if i begin using that, im wondering if i wont just get used to the slippery SS and build strength on it - not having anything to compare it to? If you could answer my questions, and give me advice to what you think I should do I would more than appreciate it, as I am brand spanking new to this! I can't wait to get my pole, but I do want to get the right one for me! Thanks everyone, I really really appreciate any insight!

PS also makes one piece poles that are friction mounted without a stage. It's the one I was goin to buy before I decided on a LM. I ended up not getting it because right now my pole has to be in a basement with ceilings undee 8 feet, and I didn't want to invest $350 on a pole that I may not be able to take with me when I move in a year. The LM was much cheaper. I got it for $230.
