I haven't used my Photoflex Changing Room for anything but 4x5, but it is plenty roomy for Grafmatics for about half the price of an equivalent Harrison.

I bought a Harrison for $141 shipped on ebay. no complaints. thing is well made and has loops on each end of the tent so you can just hang it up on the wall when not in use.
just wait for one to come up on ebay.
4x5 and 8x10 are fine.
I use a http://www.freestylephoto.biz/25001-...-Changing-Room which was great for 4"x5" until I started using Grafmatic 45s. Grafmatic 45s fully extended are tight.
Photoflex-Changing-Room 25" x 22" x 15"

Nothing beats a great piece of glass!
I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
I have the larger changing room and it is OK to work in, but I prefer the Harrison. The less expensive changing room fits flat in a suitcase and if it goes into a dirty environment then it is easier to sacrifice, loan out, etc. Definitely nice to have a less expensive alternative but you get what you pay for, the Harrisions are great.
I am still holding for a harrison jumbo...hint, hint.....it is the season

The Harrison Jumbo is nice if you can swing it financially imo. If I am car camping I either set it up on the hood of my truck of if I'm at a campground on a picnic table. Plenty of room for up to 11x14 easily. If you are backpacking it can double as your tent but it isn't practical if you are a serious backpacker as it isn't all that lightweight or small. I think it rolls up to into about a 2 foot long bag give or take a few inches. it is Cadillac of portable changing bags imo. I also use the Photoflex Changing room when I'm too lazy to set up the Jumbo. 8x10 can be done in it but it's a tight squeeze and you have to be organized and careful and it is a little awkward with your arms coming in from the sides but you get used to it I guess.
