I am trying to decide between a used Cambo 4x5 monorail and a new Linhof Kardan M. I know the Linhof represents THE mechancal standard of excellence but I can save $300 bucks by going used with the Cambo which after close inspection seems every bit as solid. And it also sold for at least 30% more than said linhof new. I am also looking at the cost of parts and accessories should they ever be needed and they are substantially less for the Cambo. The only real difference I can see between the two is the linhof is about 4lbs lighter. The question is, is there something I'm missing or don't know about the would make the linhof so superior i need to spend the extra? Both have interchangeable bellows etc.
