I was worried also until I found out what people are doing on this mount on the stock tripod with about 20Lbs of gear on it.
There are many examples but here is one:

By the time you get to be able to capture and process shots as well as some of the people that have been doing this for years then you can always sell and upgrade.
If it was me and money wasnt the issue it was when I got my CG-5 I might have gone Atlas right off the bat so there are lots of ways to look at it.
