I think the Sony tripod plate like the VCT14 is atrocious! It depends on what focal length you're on but on long teles they're just dreadful, wobbling all over the place. Chrosziel make a much better one which you have to push a lever in to lock it. Even better though is the Ronford Baker PAP and SAP plates which bolt onto the camera front and rear, solid as a rock! But no quick release, of course, but if everything you shoot is from a tripod then that's no problem. Alternatively in the past I've always tended to get mine made to measure by an engineer. Just machine a thin plate with the neccessary holes and bolts.
