information that I could find on the web indicates
that the Wimberly is the best gimball type head to get
I checked available resources before I got my gimballed head & back then it was
a toss up as to which to get.
I'd be curious as to what that info was.
I think this issue may be another subjective one.
I did not keep URLs on file, but some info was from people who tried
both the Wimberly & Kirk heads. Some info may have been subjective, due
to the mount orientation, that did at least partially affect my decision.
The stability difference between the Manfrotto 075 (which is a fairly heavy tripod)
and the Gitzo 1548 is incredible.
I'm not familiar with the 075, but did you do any testing to come to this
conclusion?
I did not do scientific testing for this, but I can see the stability
difference through the viewfinder, especially with a 2X converter on the
600. Under similar conditions I can use double the exposure time with
the Gitzo 1548 then I can with the Manfrotto 075 and have equal image
sharpness.

I would go a step further & state get the "best" there is. With the money investment in a 600, you'd be foolish not to.
I thought about saying that, but do not know what his budget is.
