Tim,
Check out the Pentax QR plate and receivers. They are different than
the bogen or the RRS type. I would suggest the medium format plates,
rather than the 35mm plates (more clamping area). They should be
available where you are. I use them with my 3444 and velbon combo for
my Eos 3. Also, (in my opinion, of course) I think the extra weight of
the Manfrotto tripod is worth it just for the leg lock style. Very
quick up and down, and I think it might be a bit taller than the Slik (I
don't remember for sure).

Why spend hundred on a carbon fiber if it weighs as much as a metal tripod?
Seems silly. Might as well use something like a Bogen 3001 or a Slik 300DX.
Unless you are doing some serious hiking, a heavy tripod in your car trunk
does not weigh any more than a carbon fiber at 4x the price.
