I'm mainly thinking of landscape shots. 6x7 is closer to square than 645. When proofing, we printed 6x7 to a 4x5 inch print with little cropping, 6x4.5 is a 2:3 aspect, and so prints to a more familiar 4x6. Other than my own prediliction about negative orientation in the enlarger, no, 645 is fine. I expect that with modern films and reasonable print size expectations, the two formats will be pretty close to indistinguishable in print.
