if you can only keep one, would you choose your manfrotto or sirui?

They are different tripods for different purposes.  It's a bit like asking "if you could only have one lens, which would it be?"

The Manfrotto is taller, has an adjustable centre column (useful for macro), and I have paired it with a quality ballhead - so it is primarily a home/car tripod (although it is light enough to carry easily, it is long).

The Sirui is decent quality, and compact - for ease of carrying.
