I had vibration problems in a heavily loaded Losmandy LW(GM8) tripod. I tried inserting hardwood dowel in the lower legs which gave no improvement. I then tried fitting rubber stoppers for chair legs which completely cured the vibration in exchange for a slight feeling of being in a boat (due to the heavy load) as I push the Discmount around, but the end result is quite good.
So I'd recommend rubber stoppers or some other vibration dampening pad below each leg, in lieu of replacing the legs with wood.
