I must admit I don't get a lot of these arguements. In the field I've used an HEQ5 and an EQ6 for imaging. As long as you don't bump the tripod then they are adequate for imaging. Now setting up an 8" PVC pipe with reo And concrete has to be better than the Chinese tripods and after making several of them I've found them to be excellent with no observable flexture or resonance. Why? Probably because I don't run into it or hit it with a hammer while imaging. All your arguements have some reason and rationale to them but practically ..........?
Just my 2 cents worth
