We actually had a debate about an almost similar scenario at the  
IVPQTRAS (what ever it's called) meeting in Savannah. I just made a  
comment that I'd given up offering panoramic services as I didn't want  
to be in the position of quoting against my own customers which as  
unlikely as it seems would have happened. I was surprised that most  
people said it wouldn't really put them off buying our products if we  
also offered other panoramic services.

But you’re right, if Kaidan offered panoramic services I would have  
just bought a Manfrotto head. Although I do always recommend Manfrotto  
tripods :)
