The winning point for me at the time of purchase was low weight, low profile and the good "glove factor" of the knobs. When I bought the 600/4, I got a Wimberley Head to go with it, but quickly learned that the RRS ball head plus a Sidekick had just as good stability, at half the weight and many times the versatility. The precision in the size of the portrait cutouts is instrumental there, because they leave the camera plate exactly vertical. The RRS heads come at a price premium, but it seems to me it's quality through and through.
