So, after getting lost in the confusing line up by Manfrotto, where the same tripod model is illogically included into more than one series, and where I have the suspicion the same model changes name depending on where it is placed or if it comes or not with a ballhead of some sort, I finally almost made my mind.

I am thinking to buy this tripod:

Manfrotto 732CY (carbon) + the 484RC2 ballhead, to form the7322CY Kit at Euros 160 (shipping included).
Based on your recommendations, I realize that it would be wise to get a better ballhead, but the 732CY alone is costing almost Euros 200 on eBay. or elsewhere on line. Pricing is another source of confusion, as you can see, and it took me a while to make sure it is the same tripod in the kit with the ballhead, and alone. While I am still not entirely sure smile , name and specs are indeed the same.

So, I am thinking to go with the kit, and still plan to get a good ballhead later on.

I am spending indeed more than I had planned, as I thought I could get all I needed for around E 100, but, what I read here was very instructive and I would definitely hate to get tripod I'd not be happy with.
