The 3039 (229) takes care of the camera's size, balance, and most easily, its weight.
Highly recommended head.
Furthermore, even if you would be using a light camera, the use of more than one tripod head might introduce unwanted vibration or movement when changing film backs.
As Dan said, get a proper leveling head, or a sturdier tripod head, rated higher than you need.
