Welcome to the bottomless pit of throwing money at your camera kit. When only the finest will do. It's addictive.
My Feisol CT3442 legs can be used with and without center column by exchanging the column mount for a flat plate mount for the head....
3 ... question do any of you use center columns or tripods without center columns? I assume without gives stability but in the past all have had central columns.

The Safety plate is a must-have with the Gitzo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/653824-REG/Naturescapes_GSP_35_Safety_Plate_for_Gitzo.htmlreally should be priority thinking is this at any given moment you may have upwards of 40 grand sitting on that tripod.

If you carry that 40 grand over your shoulder on a Gitzo, get the safety plate. It's cheap insurance.
