Settle for a pylon, or hold out for a tower?

I want to buy a tower for my boat but can not afford the expense, becasue I just dropped a ton of scrilla on my boat. I have been wakeboarding for about 4 years and have boarded primarily behind boats with extended pylons. I have only been behind one tower bearing 87 centurion and was no more impressed with my launch or arc when comared to the pylon. So, my point, I want opinions on whether or not I should just stick with what I'm used to, or ride this year with nothing and buy a tower next winter when I have replenished my savings account? Your thoughts please.

wakemaster, do you ride with a pylon? Curious why you carry this opinion

pylons are only 200 at the most and you can sell it on ebay no problem...isnt a tower 2000 dollars for a nice one? yeah so stick with the pylon and if you get enough money, maybe switch to a tower if you want to...

they both get the rope in the air...the only thing i have found special about a tower is the board racks, lights, and speakers but nothing has changed in my riding ability...so i found things that are quite convenient but i personally wouldnt have bought a tower over an airpole because of the price...lucky me it came standard Cool
