Wow... played with one of those today over at my local... The bellows
focusing is nice, as would be the larger negative size.  I especially like
the feel of the fine-focus knob.  

But gosh is that thing big. 

I wouldn't do this with HIE, but I could just imagine having the prism
finder and motor drive on that monster taking "snapshots" hand-held at the
next family get-together... or taking some grab-shots at the ball-game with
a 500mm lens?  Aaaauuuuggghhhh!  I'm getting a hernia just thinkin about
it!  ;-)
