Medium Format Camera Buying Advice

I have. Pentax 6x7 and looked at a Fuji G690 hoping for something smaller and lighter. It was slightly but not enough to buy it, especially as it has no meter. I also wouldn't have been as happy 'throwing it over my shoulder' as I am with the P6x7. I bought more P6x7 lenses instead. If I hadn't had the Pentax it might have been different.

Apparently there are common problems with the G690 dark curtains not opening or closing fully. I feel the later Fuji's with fixed lenses would be more awkward to haul about as you can't pack the body and lens separately.
