Just to chime in, I ordered my 45F2 from Hugo in December. I've only brought it out a few times so far but it's a joy to use! I have an Intrepid 4x5 as well (my first LF camera) and while I still love it and will take it on backpacking trips, the 45F2 is quite the step up. I had a hard time trying to compare all the available camera options so I made
this Google Spreadsheet to help. The raw specs don't tell the fully story but it definitely helped.
Very glad I chose the 45F2. It's fairly precise (the screw focus is awesome), the GG is fantastic over my Intrepid, though it is heavier (that's why for hardcore backpacking I'll stick with Intrepid). An absolute joy. I picked it over the H2 because I still wanted a folder and liked the design of the F2 a bit better. There is no right or wrong answer, it's personal choice and that may require some trial and error. I know folks few cameras as just a tool, but it's still an extension of you so I do consider it a bit of a journey.
In fairness, there are two things I don't like about the F2 - it's bellows are not IR safe (but you can replace them if you do lots of IR, or supposedly just covering the bellows with your darkcloth may work well enough for say Rollei IR film) and the front lens clips could be easier to engage. On the Intrepid it's very easy, on the F2 it's something you need to deliberately do and check to make sure you did it right (don't ask me how I know). Otherwise, it's such a fun camera. I've been taking the 4x5 where I probably shouldn't be taking a big camera just because it's so fun to use.
