I have to agree with Kev (must be something to do with being fellow Scots) but I use a Feisol 3 section carbon fibre tripod with the Manfrotto 410 geared head on it with my MT2000.
I think it's a good compromise between stability and weight. The Feisol has a large table where the head screws onto so tilting back with the 410 is limited, unless I can find a spacer.
