Two reasons to pay the premium for CF. Weight and vibration resistance. 
CF is very stiff.

Sacrifice weight and add wood to the mix. Berlebach and a couple 
others... you get a lot of tripod for the pesos. I've thought about the 
little tabletop Berelebach but just wouldn't use it enough. And the leg 
tightening screws put me off. I have a big wooden transit tripod which 
is much superior to the AL types. Especially in cold weather.

Just found these

There is also an old style wooden tripod builder in Spokane. Can't 
remember the name though. Reis is another but spendy.
