Agree with everyone above... got my Feisol 3442 from Kerry and the service was superb. I have my tripod with a CB 50D ball-head and I am definitely satisfied with it but - like everyone else - the rubber tips have fallen off but I use it with the spikes anyway to not a big deal.
The only other issue I have is with the ball-head... I am constatnly having to tighten the pivot and the ball with an allen-wrench. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue.

If done again, I probably would have gone with the Clam head.
