I'm looking for something better than the crap on ebay, but cheaper than the high end stuff like Acratech / Markins / RRS / Arca Swiss / Kirk that cost 4 or 500 bucks.
Say a limit of $200? I'd be happy with used but I'm in Australia so postage would probably be prohibitive. If there is anything super strong nearer to $100 then even better but I'm prepared to pay $200 for the right head (build quality, load capacity, good design etc.).
I've never had a decent BH, all been cheap Chinese ebay crap.
My tripod is an Induro AT-413.
What I'm looking for is something to use for landscape and on my new Star Adventurer star tracker that locks down with ZERO drifting / movement once locked. Obviously, a geared head would be ideal for astro but again not in my budget methinks (seen them for 4-500)
Current heaviest / largest combo is say a gripped D600 and 80-200/2.8 2 ring AF-D or AF-S 300mm f4 plus 1.7TC.
My thoughts, Sirui K40 or K20 ? Your suggestions welcomed.

I have the Sirui K 40; excellent robust head in most ways. One minor annoyance: the rubber on the knobs comes loose so that when you twist them, the rubber just spins. Easily fixed with some adhesive I guess. It's often little (fixable) things like this that mark the difference between the best and the affordable. (the rubber on some of my otherwise world class Korean PhotoClam heads split...)
