Are Gitzo's really overrated?!

My old Leitz TillTall (bonk) failed and my brand new 20D broke. That's when I ordered the Gitzo 1228, ten years ago. I took it apart and cleaned it up and put new lithium grease in the threads. Good as new.
Overrated? Certainly not! I like stuff that just works.
The ball head is jerky so I got a Markins instead. I do not think I will ever need to change this setup.
An L-plate maybe. Not sure.
