What you have to consider is that if you make the right choice in choosing your 
silly tripod it will likely outlast all your other photo gear. It's worth 
thinking about and spending money on, the cheap ones generally don't do the 
intended job very well and will fall apart in no time. Cheap now is not always 
cheap in the long run.
