Richard, I understand your dilemma. At one point I had 3 formats and 5 cameras: 3-4x5, 1-8x10, 1-5x7. But I have reduced my arsenal to a single Chamonix 45N-1. I would be shooting 8x10, but my darkroom can not accommodate an 8x10 enlarger. I also tend to do a good bit of hiking and 4x5 lets me carry an additional lens or two. It is also easier to go extreme with a 4x5 rig: macro, tele, and super-wide(47mm XL).
But in the end it's all about the print.
