Even though you've already decided on what to do with the money you've already got now, I do want to give you some advice on a tripod head, since you mentioned that you want a better one.
My advice to you would be to skip the Bogen Manfrotto ballhead and get something better like a Kirk, Acratech, Really Right Stuff, or Markins that uses the Arca-Swiss compatible plates. Since you mentioned wanting to get a L100-400 someday, you may as well buy your tripod head with that goal in mind and know that once you do get it, your tripod/head setup will be sufficient to support it properly. My first ballhead was a BM486RC2 and even with a 3+ lb load on it, it had a tendency to droop slightly no matter how much I'd tighten it when positioned at certain angles. I got so frustrated with the droop that I got rid of it and got a gently used Kirk BH-3 ballhead on Fleabay for less than $200. Another advantage with the Acra-Swiss compatible plates is that the plates for both camera and lens are custom so once you tighten a plate onto a camera or lens collar, it won't twist around on you while you're using it on the tripod head.
Just some food for thought...
