What is the lightest 24” stick made?

Beast gear doesn't make a 24" stick anymore, but my original gen 1 beast sticks are right at 1.5 pounds each. Some guys were bending them so the gen 2 had beefed up standoffs and I think a couple less holes drilled in the tubes, and weighed around 2 lbs each.
 
Which do you prefer.? Why?
Thinking on .5. And sticks.

I pair LWCG compacts w/cable aiders with my .5.

17" or 20" sticks work great for me. I'm 6'3". I have both, but my shorter brother has my 17" sticks for now. I haven't had any issues climbing down on cable aiders but there have been an occasion or two where a 20" aider curled and was harder to get into when ascending.

The LWCG sticks mate so well with J-hooks, they just work with the .5. I'd throw OOAL Shiakrs in there as a sensible option with the LWCG stands as well. I also have a LWCG double that I want to try with 2 compact sticks but haven had time to test that set.

I use TN C1's with my saddle platforms: Fix/OOAL RRxl. It's a (slightly) lighter set and 2 step sticks (work with versa aider). I run them on a different pack(s), with which they pair well.

So it's kind of situational.

Thanks for info. I’m liking packability of having all LWCG .5 as a complete set. I’m into trying some new things out for next season for sure. I’m still an old rookie…Lol
