I just noticed your "architecture and interior" tag, Jeff.
In our experience you'll love the stepladder rig rather than a tall tripod for that kind of work. The steps allow you to eliminate the short stepladder you almost certainly carry along with a tall tripod for interior work. Eliminating that extra piece of gear not only simplifies loading and lugging for shoots, it also lets you work in corners and other tight spots with a lot less hassle. Kinda handy to have the longer ladder on hand for rigging light, too.
Here's a fine tuning hint: It's a lot more stable to mount your ballhead on the very top of the ladder rather than that shakey little fold-down shelf intended for paint cans. With the Super Clamp you can also mount your camera anywhere along the length of the ladder, as well as the top, so it's feasible to shoot several POV's in the same location.
I also like lots of height for exteriors, allowing me to frame to include a higher perspective of attractive landscaping. Lots of leading lines and shapes to attractively augment views of buildings. On industrial jobs I frequently shoot from "man lifts" or personnel hoists. One site I shoot regularly has a 60' Condor lift, and it's so handy I wish I could afford my own. You can clamp the Super Clamp to the safety railing for rigid support and long exposures without a tripod.
