It's a long and very detailed report.  If you read German, or run it through
Google Translate, you can read the entire report:
 
Here is a summary:
33 ball heads were run through extensive performance tests.
The ball heads were divided into 3 groups and scored on a 100-point scale:
 
Under 100 Euro (<$150):
Sirui had the top 3 out of 11 tested.  Closest competitor was 23 points below the top Sirui model.  Sirui's winners were G-10, G-20, C-10 (included with T-005 / 025 travel tripods).
 
100 - 200 Euro ($150 - $300):
Sirui ranked #1 (K-20) and #3 (K-10) out of 12 tested.
The Sirui K-20 scored 89 points -- the highest score in this price category and the second highest score in the entire test.    
 
Over 200 Euro (>$300):
Sirui had none in this category.
The only ball head to score higher than the Sirui K-20 (89 points) was Manfrotto 468MGRC4 at 90 points. The Sirui K-20 supports 55 lbs and retails at $175.  The Manfrotto supports 35.3 lbs and retails around $300.  So, the Sirui holds 55% more load, yet costs 42% less!
 
Overall, Sirui had 5 ball heads in the top 10 -- the best results of any manufacturer.
