Albano, I started with a 3 way head on my Bogen and later got the 3262QR head. I used it for awhile and then the new magnesium 3 way head was given to me as a gift. After using it for awhile, I won't go back to the 3262. The magnesium head is just about as light, but more steady. It handles a little more weight. I think the 3262 is just a little too light, if you are considering any large lenses or MF stuff.
