A Tenba PBH might swallow the camera. I got one, with interior height is about 26".

12x20 would indeed be great! I almost went for an oddly crafted 12x20 made in China, but got the F&S 7x17 for about the same price and the F&S included a lens. I think I got a much better deal. My end product will be prints on gallery walls for all my work. For exhibitions 7x17 image seems a bit small. 12x20 seems like a better image area with a nice white frame on 20x24 photo paper. What I can do with the 7x17 is scan it and make huge prints with our printer at the university.

I have a large hiking backpack (100 litre +) for mine.
This holds the camera, 4 holders, 3 lenses, extension rail, BTZS dark cloth, and filter/meter bag.
I've done 10km hikes with this pack. Make sure that you get a decent one. These format's are heavy!!

Thanks for your advice! I was using my phone to access the forum on the weekend and wanted to reply but it's much easier to type that reply on a phone. I keep eyeballing that 7x17. I do like Efke, but it scratches too easy. After I replace glass, wait for modifications, etc. It'll probably be time to order from Ilford's 2013 ULF order or almost. I have one box of HP5+ that should do me. Though I've used Efke films in 4x5 and medium format, I don't feel ready enough to be messing with Efke in 7x17. I'm keeping an eye out for the 240 Computar, but haven't seen anything. That sounds like it would be a really nice wide angle to have.

Contacted Richard Ritter and Sandy King today. Hoping to hear a reply from either or both. I think I want to go with the modifications on the camera provided, it's not too expensive. I'll weigh that will the cost of modified holders.
I would like to see photos of the differences in the two types of holders.
I'm agreeing more and more with you that the 480 is going to have to go.

You can have the F&S back modified to take regular Korona type holder, which have a ridge on the holder. But you have to choose between the F&S type holders, or Korona type, as you can not use both types with the same back.
To get the best fit what you should do is send the back to RR, then have holders sent to him so he can get a perfect match between holder and back.

Very helpful advice!
I'm assuming the Reis head you recommend is the A200 vs the A250?
Does anyone not recommend Berlebach 3034 for the heavier banquet cameras? The Berlebachs are cheaper and lighter and seem to support similar weights.
I'm thinking 2-3 Holders should be good. With 4x5 I'm doing 4-5 holders a day. If I need more, I can use my changing bag. With 7x17 I'd have to get a tent. Tents are less than or equal to the holders price. The tents would allow me to shoot until I run out of film. 2-3 holders should cover a day, if not I'd have a tent.
Gound cloth at 5x8 feet. Ok. I'll look into that. I might try to get a seamstress to fabricate something similar to the BTZS cloths.
