Glidetrack SD vs. HD?

I almost pulled the trigger and bought the Glidetrack a few weeks ago but I got cold feet because I wasn't sure which model I should get. I think I'm only planning on using it with the 5DMKII, so I wasn't sure if I should get the SD model or the HD model. I feel like the SD model would be sufficient but I don't want to get it and then wish I had gotten the HD model instead :)
Any feedback on this issue? Thanks in advance!

Why don't you email Alistair Brown at Glidetrack.com - he's very helpful...

Personally, I would go with the HD just for the extra durability.

But, if you're going to be using the 5DMKII, the SD should be ok for you unless you plan on putting a huge lens on it.

I just bought and received the Glidetrack HD to use with my 5DMII and after some help by Alistair on fine-tuning the slider it works like a charm. The HD model is VERY durable and more than enough for the 5DMII with my lenses (85MM 1.2L, 24-70mm 2.8L). Can't wait to shoot some real stuff with it.

make one. It's called the ZaZaSlider

It's $156 for the track. Then all you need to do is cap the ends, and tap the holes. REALLY SIMPLE.
