My point about flexibility related to the Hasselblad and Mamiya systems ability to take film and digital backs.

Digital backs largely require external power sources, and the ones that
don't are huge and cumbersome. Yes the Pentax system will be quite unique,
and very flexible in that it will allow MF field photography.

Unique? What about the Hasselblad H1 - isn't that a 645 that will take both film and digital backs? Or the Mamiya 645? I guess if the rumored new digital Pentax 645 is a dedicated digital body then that will be kinda of unique, although not as flexible or indeed desirable as the other systems on the market.
