Correct tripod kit for my Tachi 4x5?

There has just been another discussion about tripods and I mentioned that I have a Gitzo 2530LVL with a Manfrotto 410 head; this has proven to be a perfectly adequate solution for my Ebony SV45Te, much more stable and lighter than my previous Manfrotto 055ProB.

The Tachi is probably similar to the Wista I'm using. I have been using a Ries J100 tripod and J200 head. Being my first wooden tripod I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I have grown to really enjoy it! In fact, I'm even using it with my digital 1Ds2 (with a different head though, my old ball head)

I don't know if this would be any more (or less) 'correct', but it's nice having a wooden tripod to go along with a wooden camera. To be honest at first I was a little skeptical about a wooden set of legs, but under recommendation by a family member I went for it, and I have been very pleased with it!
