75mm or 100mm (with potential 35mm adapters in the future)

I'm buying an HPX170 soon, and I am going with the new Vinten Vision AS series tripod/head, but I cannot find any sites/forums discussing a 75mm bowl vs a 100mm bowl for the tripod.

Eventually I plan on mounting matteboxes/adapters/focus pulls, etc. but that's in the future. I want to make sure I buy smart though.

Can I be safe with all these accessories on a 75mm bowl? Because even going from the 3AS head to the 5AS vinten head, the bowl is still 75mm, even though the 5AS can hold like 10 lbs more.

Also, I see there are 75 to 100 adapters, but does this really help with extra weight?

anyone care to shed some light on this scenario? Thanks
 
75vs100 wont make much difference. but as usual. buy as big and as much as your budget will allow.
