This is just a detail, but the T-2004XL comes with the E-20 head, which is substantially heftier than the E-10 head which comes with the T-1004XL. However, your point about a separate friction control knob still applies.

Oh yeah, I got myself mixed up because I actually started off looking at the T-1004XL first (then the N-1004X as I said at the start of the thread, I think). The T-XL all come with heads that seem appropriate for what they'll bear etc. Really good value either way, I wasn't knocking the E line at all.

Shoot, I'm impressed with the little C-10X (now replaced by the C-10S) that came with my T-1005X, it's held a G6 + 100-300 with ease while taking some moon shoots. There was a tiny bit of droop right after tightening but a head that small and light I thought it worked really well.
