pole-ease flag holder question

Is the hole spacing on the 5-pole model the same as the 3?

Thinking of springing for the setup...want to just go w/ 3 flags, for now, but was thinking that I might want to add a couple in the future. So if I get the 5-pole holder, and only put 3 poles in it, would it look strange at all? I'm thinking its probably exactly the same as the 3...

Spaced out

The spacing is the same Chuck.
I sometimes just place 3 poles in my 5 pole holder and I use the first 3.

No doubt someone has measured the hole spacing with a micrometer and will disagree with my flippant spacing statement.

But from a visual standpoint, the spacing is the same.

I just got 3 poles from Pole Ease and it looks good on 5 pole bracket sold by forum member for 75 dollars. Holes 1,3,5 or 2,3,4 look good with 3 poles.

We have the five place flag holder on Scatter Bug but only fly 3 flags. Looks the same as the three place flag holder.

I considered purchasing the 5 flag holder that Rob sells but in the end purchased from Pole Ease because of the spacing of the holes for the flag poles. Rob's are more spaced out, I like the tighter configuration that Pole Ease offers.
