c59 headset confusion

[dasein]

My c59 comes with a Colnago HS-1 headset, and needs an upgrade I've read that the Acros headsets present difficulties with becoming loose. Is the HS-1 a different headset than the Acros headset that (I read later later) came with the c59, or is it the same headset but branded under Colnago (which I also have read)? Meaning that I already have an Acros headset.

I have found a potential replacement that is supposedly compatible with c60 and c59 head tubes:

Do any c59 experts know if this is a better alternative?

The original headset was loose and one screw was stripped. My shop replaced it with a Cane Creek. Works great and blends in well.

My understanding is that Colnago-branded headsets, including HS-1, were/are indeed made by Acros. Acros also make tune-branded, etc. headsets, as well as their own branding. My 2 tune headsets have been fine for a long time, but mine are both standard, not semi-integrated/integrated, so....

I have never tried a Cane Creek as a HS-1 replacement, but the one posted just above looks quite good and CC reputation is solid.
