Sirui T-1204x or T-1205x

I'm guessing the locking mechanism doesn't weigh that much more than a section of leg and that the locking mechanism is only about an inch tall, while the four section is about 3.5" taller than the five section version.

There likely isn't a significant difference in stability. I'm more concerned with setup time, but from the posts in this thread, there doesn't seem a significant difference in that either.

I'm leaning towards the five section because it's shorter folded, which should make carrying it easier.  A significant difference in stability or ease of  setup would tilt me the other way.
