I sold my Lekis to an ex from Brazil that couldn't find them down there... so I'm on the market for new ones.

Since I had a good experience with Leki in the past I'm eyeing the Ultralite Ti COR-TEC AS poles
http://www.leki.com/html/trek_ultralite_2138.asp

They are tall enough (I don't have the need for the extra long ones), very lightweight, and have the antishock system that I love and am accustomed to.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for trekking poles that have about the same features and are maybe a little cheaper?
Do most people here that use them prefer antishock? I've still yet to try poles without antishock and am nervous about getting some without and really disliking it.
