Life is definitely a lot easier with a tripod with a bowl head. I fought adjusting legs for too many years before buying a setup with a bowl. I have the Sachtler Ace XL Fluid head on an iFootage Wild Bull T5 tripod. It's been a pretty good setup for me. The 75mm bowl with a leveling bubble is almost a necessary luxury in my opinion. I'm not going back!
Yes, that looks pretty cool. A lot more expensive than my Ace XL head but ease of use/speed can be the price if you shoot a lot. I don't shoot enough to even justify my current setup!

Have you seen the aktiv8 head for the Sachtler Tripods? The latch looks much easier and faster to level compared to unscrewing from the bottom.
