need help on tripod selection

[mugentis]

hello peepz,
i need some help on selecting a suitable tripod.. i'm looking to take macro, portrait and night photography with the tripod but i can't really decide on these 2:
055xprob + 486rc2
and
190xprob + 488rc2
below are the stats i have gathered from the manfrotto website

190xprob + 488rc2
Max height: 10.8 + 146 = 156.8cm
Max height column down = 10.8 + 122 = 132.8cm
minimum height = 10.8 + 8.5 = 19.3cm
weight = 0.67 + 1.8 = 2.47kg
closed length = 10.8+57 = 67.8cm
load capacity = 5kg

055xprob + 486rc2
Max height: 10 + 178.5 = 188.5cm
Max height column down = 10 + 142 = 152cm
minimum height = 10 + 10 = 20cm
weight = 0.46 + 2.4 = 2.86kg
closed length = 10 + 65.5 = 75.5cm
load capacity = 6kg

any advices? TIA

ballhead in critical.

out of the 2 ball head, my choice is 488RC2

now is 190Xprob vs 055Xprob, what is the requirement height? otherwise 190Xprob will be just nice in term of weight.

BTW I am using 190Xprob and I am 1.73m tall. I dun require such higher tripod.
