Honey - I shrunk the head!
Just a final note...
Thanks so much for all the information and advice.
I was balking at spending over $400 just to shave a little weight off my current set up when....
A fellow Cafe member listed a light weight travel ball head for sale! It's rated at 19 lbs and weighs only 13 ounces instead of the 27 ounces of my B1. Of course the ball heads are not in the same league at all....but I think the little head will be fine for my 4 weeks in India.
Thanks everyone! I'm going to keep this information because I'll probably end up replacing my B1 in a year or so!
