Careful. They're basically Gitzo knock-offs. There have been several reports, on another board that I frequent, of heads snapping off whilst carrying them over your shoulder with camera attached. At that point the price delta changes radically.

My macro setup is:

Canon 5D
100 f/2.8
Kenko Tubes
MR14-EX flash
Gitzo 2540
RRS BH-40 and L-Bracket
