Mandy,

I understand you may already have you decision. But  bear in mind,  forget bringing two systems (digiscoping and DSLR) with you in birding, birding gives you pleasure NOT pressure. Sorry Neil, you are exception. :

Regarding the tripod heads, don't look at the figures alone. I am afraid the 2180 may not be able to give you a steady suppot for your digiscoping gear nor for your future 328. Consider the other three.
