Leif,
I can understand where you are comming from. It is easy for me as I do not often get myself into true Benbo territory so I use my big Slik 98% of the time. Not a snag for me, but it does weigh a fair bit.
The Slik is in a different league from the Manfrotto 055 range which I do not rate as any more stable than the Benbo and certainly not as versatile.
Low down with the legs spread apart I am not too happy with the Benbo and am thinking of how to attach a low level arm to the Slik.
An interesting question though as I do not know what alternatives are on the market. A bit of research required.
Don
