I didn't see any Gitzo listed in their online pricing, I was curious how there prices compared to some of the online stores. Keep in mind Gitzo is having a rebate right now. Not that it matters to me, I am 2000 miles away and tripod flush right now. But I do have a broken tripod out in the backseat of my truck.

Maybe you should stock up John, get prepared for the day you get a 500mm. $200 off would be such a good deal on one of these might put you over the edge.
