Milk and cookies keeping you up?
If I had to summarize my feelings on the 810G, I'd say "Fantastic camera, but been there, done that; too heavy."
My 810G in its case with three lenses, rails, without film holders, weighed about 50 lbs (22kg), and it took the better part of 10 minutes to set it up, ready to shoot.
If movements were paramount, I'd buy a monorail in a heartbeat.
Weight is not a concern; I'd like to get 4 film holders and a 360 f6.8 something, and that's it. Just wanna do me 8x10 portraits.
I like the idea of a folder, or at least something more compact than a monorail, so it doesn't need some freakishly large case and a hand cart; I can deal with the weight of the whole set-up.
I have a great tripod, aluminum, rated to 44lbs (20kg).
