Its a highly personal thing. Don't buy because someone recommended it. You really need to check it out yourself. From what I read on this site, there was specific equipment that I was going to buy, and when I checking it out, hands on, I didn't like it at all. Its nice to see other opinions, and find out faults of specific equipment, but try before you buy. It is hard with large format, though, and yes with certain things, feedback is very important. Make sure its returnable if you can't see it first.
