I believe what I've taken away from this discussion is that I need to 
hop the South Shore one afternoon and head into Chicago.  I definitely 
need to see a variety of heads and see what works/feels best for me.  
The only thing I am certain of is the Manfrotto CF legs.

I primarily need something lightweight, but heavy enough to hold the E-1 
as well.  I haven't used the Mamiya TLR in years, and if I ever hit the 
lottery and get a digital back with Graflok hardware so I can take my 
4x5 Special Deardorff out of the case again, I have a Davis & Sanford 
pneumatic-lift monster to hold that.  Or the nifty #3 Crown, but that 
doesn't have any sort of head on it.

So, I'll hunt around for the best deal on the legs tonight and the next 
couple of days, and figure out a time to go see what head has my name on it.

Thanks.
