I'm with the others- DON'T DO IT YET!!! When I first started shooing 4x5, I was hooked instantly and never regretted the move. However, a year ago when I sunk $2500+ into a Deardorff 8x10, Ries tripod, lens, etc, the positive reaction wasn't exactly immediate. It took me at least 3 months to really start to get used to the new format and enjoy it. After about the first month with it, I was seriously contemplating selling off what I had bought and using the money for new medium format stuff. I got talked out of it, and I'm glad. At this point not only am I enjoying shooting 8x10 an incredible amount, I'm using it more than any other format. My message is this- stick with it and wait a few months longer at very least before you make your decision on large format. You never know how things will change, and if it turns out to be something you enjoy and want to continue, you'll find a way to make it work, guaranteed.
