There is nothing inferior. You take the length of the unsupported pipe in relation to the weight in relation to the D. A 2" base over a 9.5' span will show movement. Even bridges sway (suspension). Without adding wires or legs, a pipe of 2" is going to sway when checked 9' away from the base. Mine is in the 13' range with considerably more than a 1/2" movement at the top.
