Damn! There is a well-documented bug in Firefox where it switches over to putting everything you type into the search box, and it just nailed me. Again! Hence cutting off half-way through my post just now. Agggh. (I generally avoid the Fox because IMO Opera and Mozilla both are better, so I should know better.)
Back to the topic, if my crippled browser will let me continue. I have never seen a Manfrotto 393 and the only really practical way I could lay my hands on one for testing would be to buy one and hope it suits. (That is, after all, the way I bought the ATS80HD and the 501 - good advice from you guys followed by a stab in the dark with a loaded credit card.) So I guess I will stick with the 501 for a little while and see how I go.
PS: Congratulations to WPF. I asked the exact same question (via cut n paste) over at another forum - a very gear-oriented one, no prizes for guessing where - and got not a fraction of the useful information provided here. You guys are the best!
