For owners of both Sirui and Benro tripods, comparatively, which is better in terms of build quality and functionality? Thanks.

Based on?
Which range of tripod are you comparing????
That will really depend on what are the tripods that the owners have isn't it? Not targeting any particular tripod range.
Just want to have a general feedback from owners of both Sirui and Benro tripods that's all.
I own both Benro's combination of ball head & tripod and Sirui's combination of ball head and tripod. In my personal experience, Sirui's combination and the accessories that comes with the combination, give me better value of money as the combination gives the following:
-- tripod with one leg detachable as monopod
-- detachable leg comes with wrapping for comfortable grip
-- accessories to attach to detached leg and complete it as a full monopod
-- tool for fastening purposes
-- one long and one short column provided
-- built-in spikes inside the each leg when using tripod on soft grounds
-- tripod bag with shoulder straps to contain all the above
-- compact traveling ball head comes with quick release plate
-- quick release plate comes with anti-rotation latches to prevent SLR body from rotating
For other brands, you may have to pay for the additional items in addition to the basic tripod.
As an add-on, some Benro tripods have a steeper markup in Singapore compared with the Siruis sold locally. Technically both have their pros and cons, thus you have to ask yourself what are you paying for?
