I still have mine, I like it a lot if you keep it within it's useful parameters. I learnt the hard way shooting medium format film with it that it's not made to be super steady or for heavier setups. I used to use it for weddings as a quick 'run and gun' tripod solution for a DSLR shooting at low but not too low shutter speeds.
I put a simple RRS Lever QR on mine. Only thing is it goes on sideways. Rotated 90 degrees. There is a big lip/post/metal thingy under the Manfrotto QR which when the native QR is removed stops the RRS from going on straight. I could have had it cut off but it didn't bother me to use the lever sideways. My palm works the lever rather than my fingers. I've got it in the cupboard somewhere and can dig it out to take a picture of if you want.
