Has anyone used the Matthews M25 Tripod?

Sounds like a low-cost high-end tripod but I haven't really heard much about it.

Has anyone tried out the tripod and like it?

I like that it has a levelling bowl and counter spring in it. And for $170 for legs and head, it's really tempting ;) Apparently, Matthews used to be a distributor for Libec and has now started out making tripods on their own.
