However, I did find the RRS website and their pano gear looks excellent. Suitably sturdy and reliable... certainly much better than anything I've seen locally.

I have been using the RRS Pano gear for about two years now. It is very sturdy and durable. It is also heavy and potentially destructive to the other gear in your bag if you don't have it padded appropriately.
Are you planning for the full spherical head or just a basic cylindrical setup? A light and basic cylindrical setup can be made with an L-Bracket, panning clamp, and nodal slide. I think they call that the Pano Elements Package. It can be used for single-row panos with the camera in portrait orientation. It is a nice place to start and can be upgraded with additional parts to a full spherical setup, what they call the Ultimate-Pro Omni-Pivot Package.
I love RRS gear. I have spent more on my pano head gear than on my legs.
