Which Tripod? £500 - Sachtler Ace vs Benro S8

[Videvo]

Hey guys, I need a new tripod for stock video shooting - and occasionally random other gigs. I'm interested in these two:

Sachtler Ace: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/822105-REG/Sachtler_1002_Ace_M_Fluid_Head.html

Benro Carbon s8: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1026242-REG/benro_c373fhs8_s8_video_tripod_kit.html

I'm veering towards the Benro so far. Does anyone have any input on my choice/suggestions of other products I should look at? In an ideal world i'd head down to a gear warehouse and try one, but unfortunately I don't have time.

Thanks in advance!!

Sachtler head is superior, though I hear the legs are eh. Benro S heads are about Manfrotto-grade.

Thanks dude, I actually went for a higher grade Sachtler in the end - way over budget though! Can't wait for it to arrive <3

which one did you go for? I'd love to go for the $1100 sachtler legs with the quick collapse mechanism. It looks so fast, but I've not read good things about its reliability.
