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: Thanks for the feedback. Now that I think about it, I got soft pictures only when using the Uniloc with legs extended. Evidently as the inner legs are thinner they are prone to flex, and I suppose the extra length does not help either. As I recall you have a Benbo 1 which I would expect to be more solid than my Uniloc 1600, and more like the Uniloc 1600 Major. I think I will stick with my old Uniloc for the time being. The fancy carbon fibre tripods look the business - light and sturdy - so I guess one of those might be next year's new toy.
