Mark,

Main differences are the newer tubes are thinner and thus lighter, but purportedly just as strong and more rigid. The other thing is the legs don't spin, so easier to lock and unlock them.

Jack thanks for the information. I never liked the locking mechanism on the older Gitzos. I guess i have to decide if it is worth the price to upgrade. I have to take a look at one to see how much lighter and thiner.
