Strength:

SUPER tall!, Overly stable, fantastic build quality and truly smooth operation. NEVER a quiver out of it!

Weakness:

Heavy at 17 pounds without a head, but this is NOT made for hobbiests!

Manfrotto's finest is on display in this tripod. If you have truly SERIOUS photography desires, this tripod will support anything you care to mount on it, and support it in the very most stable fashion.
Is it expensive? Yes, but still a great bargain when compared to the $1000+ Gitzos. Is it heavy? Yes, but that's exactly what you want in inclement conditions. Last thing a photographer needs is having his tripod blown over by a moderate wind (as happened with my CF Gitzo once). As for hard to reach, at 9' high this one will get over obstructions, or even add a boom to it, the weight is no problem!
A wonderful piece of equipment to have unless you are a backpacker!
