I've got a manfrotto one, they're great. The only problem is the bottom thread is like 1/2" instead of the standard 1/4". (bottom of the tripod head, obviously the thread/screw into the camera base is still 1/4").

Mike, without hijacking this thread, your head likely has an older 3/8" thread. This was common in times gone by, especially with the bigger heads (my Benbo ones have it as well).
You can get (although I don't know where now) a simple screw in ring that fits the 3/8" and then has a 1/4"x20 inside, to fit to some on the newer tripods. Maybe an older camera store, or older ex-photographer will have one.
