I've had a better think about this, and played with them in shops, and I think I prefer the weight of the 190XPROB to the 055. If I was to go for the lighter legs, should I be going for a smaller/lighter ballhead in the 496RC2? I'm not sure I've got the presence of thought when shooting to use a 3-way, having played with a couple, and I don't know how much use I'd get out of the panning function on the 498.

Any thoughts?
