I ended up taking everyone's wise advice and picked up a slightly used Leitz tripod today at a camera show for $75.00. It was real nice being able to try it out before I bought it.

Congrats....you'll enjoy it!
Just last week I bought a Marchioni Tiltall #4062. It's already worked well under my Wista 45SP shooting mostly level. I would not put anything heavier than that Wista on it, but it looks lovely and all of the locks feel great. It's intended mostly for the Wista and for my Mamiya TLRs.
Our school bought a bunch of new Tiltalls the last couple of years. They are damn near useless and hurt my rep as an advisor for camera gear. I had a Tiltall in the '70s when I was a child that was wonderful. Replaced it with a Gitzo. Recently I bought an old Marconi off Ebay. It's pretty dang good, though used. I'd go ebay in the 60.00 range.
