I had an 028 and 055 concurrently and my 055 never collapsed under the weight of the 67 though I never did use it with my 400/4 :-) If the legs collapse on an 055 generally tightening the lock-nut on the offending leg clamps will remedy the problem. I still have an 058 but I tend only to use it locally as it's just too big and heavy to lug about, the 028 is a bit lighter but not much. The 055 is great as far as portability goes.
