"just a little better" how? A lot of us use the 488RC2, which has a separate pan control.

Agree with Jon... The 488RC2 is better than the 486 because of it's panning ability, and the fact that it will hold your camera steadier with a heavy lens fitted - You could of course buy one that's "a sexy piece of work" instead :-)
