I think the light weight of the Chamonix will help it retain a higher percentage of value than many other LF cameras. So if weight is top concern, I would go that way. I just ordered one myself, primarily for the weight. I had been using a Toyo 45A and Zone VI tripod for over 30 years, so I sold those off. If you are young and strong and won't be hauling the kit around a lot, I would go used but heavier, or maybe used Chamonix 45N-1.
