Cumberland Hiker cautioned "You have to be careful in making these comparisons as there are many different grades of aluminum and fiberglass and different constructions used to make poles."

Which really says, buy tents made by the top quality manufacturers that are designed for the purpose for which you will use the tent. It costs more up front, but is cheaper in the long run. Use the poles intended for the tent. If you buy a cheap tent from a mass marketer, it will have poorer quality poles, which are more likely to break, especially if you use the tent in conditions other than those for which it was designed.
