I have an old Monoball (on Studex legs) I got secondhand. What decided me
was trying to move the ball with partial resistance applied, something I
knew I wanted to do for careful adjustments. All the other heads moved
jerkily, this was smooth.

It's a bonus that it'll hold anything steady, and the mass is a great
damper.
