Tripod + head upgrade help

I need some advice. I'm about to upgrade my tripod and head.

There are a few options I'm looking at:

Option 1:

I am going to be mounting a Canon 5D Mark II or 60D + lens + a Zacuto baseplate for Z-finder + battery grip + 2 batteries.

I weighed by 60D and with my smallest prime lens, it comes to about 4 pounds 9 ounces.

I also hope to incorporate the Manfrotto 577 quick release system so I can go from Glidecam to tripod. I've already bought 1. I'm hoping that this works. If it does, that should add another 10 ounces.

I'm assuming this will be enough weight for the Vinten Blue to handle perfectly (let me know if I'm wrong).

Anyways, for my needs, which head and tripod combination would you recommend?

option 3! the Sachtler is a great tripod head, definitely recommend it

Yea the Sachtler is without a doubt the way to go. Not sure about the legs though, dont know anything about that brand.

My vote would go to the sachtler head. I actually had a chance to play with that exact head on a shoot two weeks back. It's a friggin dream =p

Have you used the vinten?

Can't say that I have so I couldn't offer you a comparison
