Hello AC,
I think it is great that you found a medium weight CF tripod that will work well for you. That it is good for you is what really matters.
In the spirit of honesty and transparency to you and all who may see this post, I was in a unique position to be able to make the purchases for my primary, professional photography gear I purchased. I was able to enroll in a Veterans program that would pay for 12 months of schooling towards a degree or trade. So, I went to college in 2012-2015 in order to receive two associate degrees in photography and digital imaging technology, which I did. I used a lot of student loan money, and came into a reasonable inheritance that allowed me the ability to purchase the kit that I have. From cameras to studio lighting and grip equipment, and all things in-between. I have been very lucky, fortunate and blessed to have what I've got. I don't take that for granted for one moment. If I didn't have those events happen, it is safe to say I wouldn't have anywhere near what I have.
Secondarily, one of my classmates and friend I met in college is a year younger than I am and had very deep pockets. We had a kind of perverse, silent competition for who could get the best stuff and more of it. I am happy to say he won when, I realized I didn't want to play that game anymore. Sadly, when his mother passed away, his inheritance made him a millionaire. He will still flaunt the latest and greatest acquisitions at me from time to time, and I am happy for him. I just stay in my lane now.
I did go all out on what I felt was crucial to me and was more or less a one time purchase, or would last a very long time; my tripod set up, "the tank" I like that name for it, an excellent light meter, high quality lenses, filters, and camera bags.
In the end, I was very lucky and don't take it for granted in the least. I am not a snob about what I have,, and encourage people to be happy with their choices in their photographic endeavors. All the greatest equipment and kit does not matter at all. What does matter, is that photographers find joy and happiness in their photography.
