Welcome to group therepy.
The 5x7 format is one I've always liked...great aspect ratio and much like the 35mm's which I have used a lot, but the 4x5 has one big advantage: availability of film. 4x5 film is made in many more emulsions than any other sheet size and is much more likely to be found in a camera store (yeah, I know we all usually order it) in a pinch than any other sheet film size. Maybe the ideal situation for you would be an Ebony 5x7 with an extra back in 4x5??? Only a little more weight to carry around! Good luck...shoot lots!
