The ones you are considering come with interchangeable heads. They just
screw on to the center column. For your needs, a Bogen is the best value for
the money. Also consider Benbo, I've heard good things about them, but never
saw one in the flesh. I like ball heads, and I love the new Gitzo ones. I
don't like the lever locks on the Bogen, hence I am saving for a new Gitzo.
I hate my Tiltall, BTW.

A Pentax Spotmeter V can be had used for about 200$. One degree spot, real
nice but hard to find used. I have a Gossen Luna Pro that I bought new,
gosh, 12 years ago??? I used to have money anyway!
Be seeing you.
