Larry,
Do you remember which Benro model? C38F, by any chance?
As for Induro ball heads: I looked at the cheapest one, BHS1:

While 10 reviews on Amazon are ok, 1 review there and 3 reviews on B&H
suggest that its build is poor, and that especially shows within a few
months.
Did you get a different model?
Thank you,
Igor

I should probably consider getting some reasonable monopod with a head
that allows quick and easy flipping between horizontal and vertical
positions. Speaking of which, does anybody have a suggestion for a
simple and inexpensive head like that? Alternatively, are there any
flip-brackets designed for mounting a camera on a monopod? (I am
thinking along the lines of flash-mounting brackets that easy to flip,
- something similar for cameras.)
I have a benro carbon fiber monopod that I'm very happy with, it set me
back about $85, rather than $240 for the manfrotto.
Pretty much any decent arca-swiss style ball head on it will work. There's
a little notch to flip the camera over to portrait format.
I find that the Induro ball heads are very good for the money.
I like the custom slr mini plates. They work with both arca-swiss and most
of the manfrotto style generic tripod plates.
I also picked a couple of these plates up, but haven't really gotten a lot
of use out of them
