A more sturdy tripod

Afternoon.

I think that it is time to buy a more sturdy tripod and I am thinking that the Manfrotto 190EXPROB (try saying that drunk) is the one, not least because I can shift the central column around for macro work.

Before I deploy my wallet, does anybody have any better ideas please? I was thinking about a Giotto tripod but they seem slightly heavier and I seem to be unable to take the tripod for short walks only

Also, ball head or pan/tilt? Since I would use if for landscape, macro, airshows and wildlife I am thinking a ball head is better?

Thanks

Matt
