Wow - were the poles old and chipped? I'm just wondering if maybe you should first think about what you might be doing to have broken 2 poles in such a short time period. Personally I dont consider breaking a pole a good thing - while it may look and sound cool - it generally means the equipment was messed up (cracked/spiked/etc.) or the pole was being overbent/overstressed.
I'm just curious.

You need to make sure you know why. 2 poles in such a short period is a sign that something is wrong? You may need to ask Bruce ESSX for some help or go to http://www.therightpole.com if you are selecting the right size?
