yes it is overpriced, the same head is £59 at Calumet who aren't particularly cheap but and free p+p at the moment.
However you wont be disappointed by a Manfrotto head. I've been using the MN229 for close on 20 years but it is quite a bit pricier at £170. Like everything else you get what you pay for.

Where do you want to use the head for, studio is a large word.
For products that head would be great since you can adjust it precisely but for portrait I don't know if you want such head since it's slow to use.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong just that you need to think about it if it's the right product.
A ball head probably of centre might be a better options for portrait. link
The good thing about an off centre one is that you keep the lens and the viewfinder on the same height when you switch from landscape to portrait, I still want to get one for my monopod.
