I was looking for a similar tripod last year and ended up spending around £180 because I couldn't find anything around £100 that seemed like a long term option. Ended up with a Gitzo reporter from the 70's/80's and a Leica ball head. Geared heads and panning are great options to have but small size and lightweight meant more to me.
What I do miss is a quick release plate. Otherwise you have to screw the camera onto the ball head, if the ball head is mounted on the tripod at the time it's an accident waiting to happen.
