Shoot portraits and some landscape /architecture. Looking for Tripod-lightweight with recommendation for a head also. Price range around 3-$400.00 . Would appreciate any input.

You could also take a look at Feisol stuff. They're in the $3-400 range and hard to beat for the price.

Could also do something like a Manfrotto 055XPROB and a Markins head like the Q10 for around that price range.

Same here, after looking for a while I went Feisol as well, was not a monetary question vs gitzo either, it just seemed better.

After reading this review around 7 months ago, I went ahead with that exact same setup and absolutely love it. It's great for everything - light enough for me to hike up Bear Butte in South Dakota with, and just as good for studio work. Excellent setup.
