the good:
on par if not better in overall design,materials and construction.
generally lighter weight, stiffer and less bulk then equivalents from other makers
better access to parts and service in the US. (less needed overall due to above)
very conservative \"ratings\" for their support capability.
can use some small selected parts from Gitzo like the spikes (their spikes are more specialized and costly)
the not so good:
they cost more
there is generally a wait because they manufacture/build in lots which takes more time. if you want off the shelf the its Gitzo.
