Congratulations Woody
If you like it, and you can afford it, then you should have it.
I'm also a hobbyist (hate that word). But I do a little paid work, just enough to convince the tax man that the equipment is tax deductable (and what a difference that makes). It also adds a little discipline, and, for me, teaches how much I wouldn't like to do it full time!
I've eschewed the MF bit. Mr Gadget in me would dearly love a HD39, but Mr Sensible understands that Mr Photographer wouldn't take better pictures with it! (even though Mrs Slack is very understanding).
Having read this thread I'm feeling better about collecting my D700 next week!
Now you've been through this experience you can really enjoy it.
