That is nice--I never seem to like the 6x9 or 6x17 look, but 6x12 (and now, Pali's 6x14) really checks a lot of boxes. (FWIW, I keep wanting somebody to tell me what would be wrong with a Horseman HD with a 135 Sironar N tucked away and a 6x12 film back...seems like you'd have normal to (very) wide sorted in a very small package.)
At any rate, a bit more unsolicited advice from a backcountry flyfisherman--I'd think about investing in a pair of wading boots with sticky-rubber soles. Simms and Chota both make pretty agile models that you can hike in pretty easily.
