Oh boy, not exactly helpful! I keep bouncing back+forth between the two options. The acratech GP definitely negates any ability to use a tripod with fold-back legs that extend beyond the center column due to the size of the GP. The P0 meanwhile is much more likely to be able to deal with that.
I can't help you there, that was not one of my criteria when deciding between the p0 and the GP. I do not care for that type of tripod design.
Can I ask in which ways you found the GP to be more versatile? In what ways did you find it more functional/a better option over the GP?
I found it easier to control ball tension with the GP, I dislike the panning control on the p0, and the GP can be used with my Wimberley Sidekick in a pinch. The p0 also lacks markings on the panning base, which I use for composing pano shots. Overall, I think the p0 is a nice head, but I don't find it to have any true advantages over a standard ball head with a panning clamp or the GP. I wouldn't want either the p0 or GP as my only ball head, for the things I shoot. That said, a GP on an appropriately sized tripod with a Sidekick and a nodal slide makes for a very lightweight, versatile travel setup.
