I don't want to be massively money-driven, but this seems like a brilliant deal.
Am I wrong?

Looking at my little spreadsheet of leg options, the Vanguard comes out as one of the best. It's a close run thing between it and the 055xprob, but it's 400g lighter.
Code:
Brand Vanguard Manfrotto Manfrotto Giotto Induro
Model AP 263AT 190XPROB 055XPROB GTMT 9340B AT114
Weight 2.0kg 1.8kg 2.4kg 1.3kg 1.5kg
Max Cap 7kg (5kg) 5kg 7kg 3kg 6kg
wo CC 1.40m 1.22m 1.42m 1.41m 1.29m
w CC 1.65m 1.46m 1.79m 1.20m 1.52m
Length 0.63m 0.57m 0.66m 0.47m 0.49m
Price £110 £85 £100 £94 £118
And the 100 looks like a decent ballhead.
Would appreciate any opinions.
