those gitzo are very nice stuff though and sure look very nice
would be fun to have one especially if you like tripods I could see that

I like the finish color !
my main work head is a acratech ultimate

I originally had it cause being from the islands I liked the fact it was easy to clean out if it got mucked up

and light but holds well
legs are bogen ? cheap but solid enough and working again in the conditions they tend to rust out even when taken care of
plates I love RRS and swear by L plates !!!!
if I was buying a new tripod and head to day I would be looking at the RRS options as they seem to be well thought out etc..
Ywen agree how much innovation not much
I think the only time in tripods I went WOW thats cool is when the benbo first came out I remember I was in HS and thought WOW how cool is that
went down played with them and my only issue was when they first came out they were a bit tricky to work with

so I never got one but have not seen anything other than lighter and stiffer better clamps and such
