Just buy an Intrepid 4x5 and cheap 150mm lens and start shooting. Used Intrepids can be found for under $250.

ebay rocks for intrepid...
Agreed. CatLabs will overcharge significantly for a camera kit like that. Avoid!!
If you go that way, make sure you're saving enough from the cost of a new one. I've owned two Intrepids, and they improved their cameras substantially fairly quickly. They also have great support for people who buy new. Sure, it'll cost a bit more to buy new, but it would likely save a lot of hassle.

I found finding a complete DR and/or ready to go cameras are cheaper in the long run

Not always cheaper in the long run... its one thing to spend more now, but its completely different to spend more money now on a camera with a lens that is DOA..
Ooops! Sorry for the delay . . .
As mentioned by Oren, 2.25x3.25 (6x9cm) for Film Holders. But, if you're more interested in 120 roll film, then the manual states 6x7cm. I believe that goes for the 970, 980, 985, VH and VH-R.

Horseman VH and VH-R series of cameras in the 6x9/6x7 bracket.

Please note: the information given here, is not to be considered as a recommendation to buy. ;-)
As stated on p. 5 of the linked manual, the 985 accepts both 6x7 and 6x9 cm rollholders. Same is true for all of the cameras you mention.
