Glenn, excellent summary about the Flexbody! One small remark to the bubble level: I used a Novoflex clamp to attach a standard cold-shoe bubble level on the down-right corner of the front standard. I could have also glued it there, but preferred a non-permanent solution. That fixes the problem for me. I also agree to the usefulness of the bubble level in the shift knob. I use the attached bubble level for the front standard, and the bubble level in the shift knob for the rear standard. I also sometimes still double check with the precise bubble level from my large format camera hold against the rear standard.
Attached a quick picture of the cold shoe bubble level.
The best place for the bigger, precise bubble level on the rear standard I found is to press it against the metal bar below the back. Hard to explain, probably it's better visible on the picture below.
Edit: I use a Phase One back on the Flexbody.
