New Tripod Reccomendation Please

[Josh-H]

I need a new tripod as my old Manfrotto has bitten the bullet.

Was looking at a Gitzo GT2541L 6X Carbon mountaineer tripod.

For use with Canon 1Ds with lenses up to 300mm F2.8.

Has to be an all round tripod for use in the field for landscape work.

Do you think this is overkill?

Any other reccomendations?
