I haven't got this exact model, but I do have a feeding station similar to that.
I recommend using feeding stations like that as they let you see the birds very easily without foliage getting in the way like when they've hung from a tree.

it has lots of room on it so it looks like it should do the trick ...

by the way, how are you getting 25 goldies a day? I had four come to my nyger feeder last week and nothing since. they where the first to visit the feeder and probably the last!
 
Thanks for the replies guys!

When I moved into this current property around early November I wasn't getting any goldfinches, I was seeing them fly over but they weren't seeing my feeders. After two months and no Goldfinches, I decided to move my feeders from the Apple tree and out into the open. I bought a cheap 3 hook feeding station and some cheap large blue CJ challenger seed feeders http://www.amazon.co.uk/Large-Challenger-Seed-Bird-Feeder/dp/B0039YX39O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=garden&qid=1296845920&sr=8-1-spell and filled them with sunflower hearts. Within an hour or so I had 2 Goldfinches and the numbers just kept on growing. I'm actually convinced that the blue feeders attract them to be honest!
