Tripod - Manfrotto or 3LT or other?

[ham]

I still haven't made my mind up on this. Only here in the UK you have to spend a lot more to get the Manny 190CXPRO4 than the Jack. That alone is leading me towards the 3LT, because the only Manny options are the two XPROB's, which are heavier.

Thanks, your thread really helped me narrow my choices down. Of course, every time I am close, I go off looking at other options. I would be curious if you had the chance to play with the two (even if it was the XPROB verse the 190). Given the same price here, do you have thoughts/recommendations between the two? We are getting short on "real" camera shops here for me to compare side by side.

Unfortunately I don't get the UK anymore, so I can't bring you a 190CXPRO4 .
