For me it comes down to whether there is any difference in stability for my biggest camera/lens combo - A7RII with FE 100-400mm GM + 1.4x TC? The Feisol can easily handle it, but will the Gitzo be better for a 560mm landscape shot?
How many landscape shots do you take at 560mm ?! Be honest. I would have thought that environmental conditions would have made any landscapes shot at that mm pretty much good for web use only, in which case the tripod would be the least of your worries.
However a 100-400mm I can envisage being very useful, at least up to 200 or so.
You have both tripods, nobody else here does so you are, by some distance, the best one to judge. Take them both out in some of your typical shooting conditions and test them. I have both light, for travel, and sturdier/heavier tripods/heads however for 99% of my shooting the lighter tripods work just fine, that includes very long exposures. And I'd prefer to use any way I can to reduce the weight of my pack when going off to find those landscape shots, so long it's not going to compromise the end result.
As I mentioned elsewhere recently, finding a way to shield your setup from the wind is going to be much more effective for landscape photography than increasing the sturdiness of your tripod.
