Another point of view. I have a 1228, that fourth section made me nuts. Plus the skinny little leg is the same size as the 1127. A chain is as strong as it's weakest link. I never understood how a 1228 and a 1227 could have the same weight rating. I just bought a 1257, the best of a couple of worlds. 3 section legs, lighter than the 1227 and with anti rotation legs very fast to set up and break down. Unless involved with serious backpacking or world travel I'd stick with a 12 series. The 11 is top notch for M/F.
