Well, after thinking a bit about 5x7" and 5x8", I decided to go for 5x7" because of a "little" detail I have forgotten, wich is the fact that my enlarger is a Durst 139G wich can deal with 5x7" negatives, maximum. I still enlarge my photos and use fiberbase baryted paper, I don't enjoy inkjet (at least, for this week, because we never know what comes next!!!!).
I've been watching the Chamonix 5x7 black walnut horizontal model, I enjoyed it a lot, it's small and light and I can build a 4x5 back for it, if they don't sell one of those.
Nana, be careful, the "horizontal models only" usually have fixed back so it might be difficult/impossible to make a reduction back for them. From my knowledge, it's not possible to have a regular reduction back (like the one I have for my 5x8 camera, which is here). You can easily build a back for the horizontal/vertical model in any size, but not for the horizontal only. That is the price you pay for the camera being lighter and smaller...
Do check with the factory, if it's possible.

Thank you for the advise but, I had been watching that closely and, if you look well, you can see that the back on this horizontal model has the very same lockers on the upper borders of the back, that the normal model has. I think the back is detachable, but not rotatable, because the back is rectangular, not square.

Yes, from that photo it would seem you are right. It seems to be detachable.
I have just checked the 5x8 horizontal only model pictures and they lack the lockers - so my previous comment might concern only the 5x8 model, and not the other.
