The RRS head is rated for a load capacity of 75.0 lb / 34kg.
The Manfrotto is rated for a load capacity of 8.8 lbs / 4kg.
And the Manfrotto is more stable than the RRS
Then the Manfrotto have a 2x to 3x safety factor also. It means the RRS don't have any safety factor. But instead it must be rated about eight or ten times higher than it actually can load
Lars, reading specs and using equipment I have found to be two very different situations. I have stated my opinions, you have stated yours. The advantage of the fluid head is movement, if that is not important in your use, than it really does not matter. Either one will work and neither will collapse under the extreme weight of a pro body camera and telephoto lens, at least mine has not to date and I have been using it for about a year. Like much of the gear that we use today, all that matters is how we like what we use.
As far as my comment on stability, I stated that I do not use the head fully locked down, and in that situation the fluid head is, in my opinion, more stable.
