I could just buy another tripod before Christmas, but I usually find that purchases made in a hurry from whatever limited selection happens to be in stock at the local shops on the day are soon regreted.

Why not just buy a second quick release plate for your Manfrotto, the you can easily switch between the scope and the camera on the same tripod. I know what you mean about a flash for macro work, there is often not enough light. It's just a shame that dedicated macro flashes are so expensive...
