My answer:  shoot both!  The Buffalo MF sessions will be very much a
learning experience for us all.  I know what my stuff looks like
projected at home, but noone elses!  However, the same limitations
regarding contrast and ghosting apply as in 35mm.  Keeping this in mind,
as well as brightness, conservative deviation, and accurate mounting,
will produce pairs that project well.  For me, the hardest part of
transitioning from 35mm (7p) to MF is getting used to composing in the
1:1 aspect ratio.  5-p shooters should have no problem with this!
