Sachtler cine 30 HD vs. Cartoni M115 Master

The question is simple. Which one is better for RED (on jib crane occassionally)? Pros, cons?
They have very similar specifications, price, weight, etc...

I was very happy with a one week test of the cine 30 HD from Sachtler. If I had the pennies that's the one I would go for....

Never used the Cartoni M115, but I would highly recommend the Sachtler Cine30 HD head. Has been fantastic with the Red- including mounting it with the Optimo 24-290mm Lens and a Arri MB14 6x6 mattebox, etc. No problems at all, handles the weight like a champ. If ya get one, you gotte check out the bridgeplates ET offers- a simple 1 piece solution that is slick.
