Wise words...I've been very patient reading this post. It's just that Tim is an outstanding photographer and very serious with what he's been doing. His honesty is greatly appreciated.
Honestly, I think it is very simple.
Get the camera system which you can afford and feel comfortable. I used a Nikon F3 and cheap 4x5 Arca for decades until I have money to buy IQ180 and Hasselblad H4D-40 and fell in love with them. Family comes first!
"The One" will feel good in your hand and provide the image quality you like. The one that makes you feel happy every time it's in your hands. It doesn't matter, Nikon D600, D800, IQ 180. It likes your first love, you would feel it.
If you don't like it, just sell it and move on with your life. Photography supposes to make you happy. Someone will always buy it.
Some successful photographers such as Galen Rowell didn't always make "sharp image to the edge" or perfect pictures even his famous pieces. Some of his images are too saturated and over-manipulated but you can always feel "him" in his photos.
I completely believe "too technical" can limit your artistic mind.
Just a thought.

Kudos Graham! You have summed this entire business up perfectly in 4 words -- well 5 if picky ones don't allow the contractionArt doesn't need perfection.

Art doesn't need perfection.
Of course that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with WANTING perfection. :salute:
