I never had any problems with the standard rubber feet on the few rocks I run into but I live nowhere near rocks. I don't recommend setting up in a precarious position and turning your back on the gear. The spikes are more for loose/soft ground.
Is it pretty safe to assume that RRS rarely offers discounts, if ever?

I have never seen them discounted. You might check the B&H used department. You occasionally see them for sale used. A quick search came up with this>>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/REALLY-RIGHT...429?rmvSB=true

I like my Vortex Summit ST-3 XLT tripod legs, 3lbs might be a little heavy? I paid $200 shipped on ebay.

Thanks. One thing that has me going back and forth, is the difference between the the BH-55 and BH-40 head. The price difference isn't considerable, but the weight capacity and weight of the unit is considerable. I don't think it would effect me much until mounting a rifle, though. BH-55 weighs ~2lb. with 50lb. capacity, and the BH-40 weighs ~1lb. with 18lb. capacity. I'll probably stick with a BH-40 due to the weight savings, but the capacity difference has my attention. I am probably just overthinking this, though.
Another feature that has me thinking, is my thought that I would want a handle to assist with glassing while hunting. Is that a feature I want, or can easily add? It doesn't look like a very affordable option with the head I am looking to purchase, but I may be missing something.
