I just went through the same process after getting a 100-400 IS for my EOS-3. It definitely overwhelmed my Bogen 3D head. I got the Kirk B-1 and am really happy with it. I got the Kirk plates instead of the Really Right Stuff ones. I had ordered the RRS catalog and after reading it, did not like the RRS attitude. The folks at Kirk have been really great. Plus, the Kirk head does not jamb.
