I have to agree with Sassan, the more you can afford now, the cheaper the outlay becomes as the years pass by, what I mean is, the longer the tripod last you the less you pay for each years use, where as if you skimp now in 5 years time might well have to replace them, also bear in mind that what may be sturdy enough today, may, as you buy bigger, longer and heavier lenses, not be sturdy enough in years to come.
Just my opinion,
John
