I'm curious to follow and see how you go with this. I would think that the major benefit to someone that already has a V collection is that you don't have to change your focus.
I know it's hard to get a real apples to apples comparison, but I am curious about the image differences between the same shot with similar lens configurations through the 907x compared to a V body.
For us the goal was for her to be able to shoot digital since that is the common medium these days, but still allow her to have a path to film work without having to two separate lines of equipment. I got her the 80mm XCD as her "starter" lens, but the plan has been to focus on building up a V collection going forward so that it is just a matter of changing backs.
I presume in your first sentence you meant "change your lenses" rather than "change your focus.
I had slightly different goals: I already had a complete V system (500CM, 50-80-120-150mm lenses, SWC 38mm lens) that was getting little use because I could only shoot film with it, and as much as I like the aesthetic qualities of film, I actually get more consistently satisfactory results with digital capture ... never mind that the workflow is, for me, much less of a chore. My big issue was getting an all-digital equivalent of the SWC ... simulating the FoV with all manner of other cameras and formats just didn't really make the same thing, regardless that I've made some very nice photographs that way.
The 907X fitted with XCD 21mm lens does the number right for me, cropped to a 33x33 mm format. It's a stop more DoF, similar imaging qualities in that the relationship between DoF and FoV are very close and the lens performance is right up there with the Zeiss Biogon 38/4.5. So I sold the SWC to help fund the 907X/21mm lens kit. (The Biogon 38 isn't the best lens on digital anyway, didn't see much point to keeping it if I was going to use it so infrequently.)
So that left me with an SWC-equivalent plus a V system that, if I jumped down one focal length, provided on digital what I had on film. And then I received the 907X and started to use it and the CFVII 50c back on the 500CM...
Development of the system from use is a different thing than building ideas from specs.
Given that the SE model was supposed to be available late fall 2019 I would suggest that means that we won't really see the standard version until late winter or early spring of 2021...
Possibly. It's all conjecture until Hasselblad announces release.

Subsequent discussion of larger LCD, rotatable backs, etc:
We've had this discussion before. If you look at the CFVII 50c, you can see there's not much room at all for a larger screen and keep the form factor in line with a V-system body.
Regards rotating the back for use on V-system bodies, I don't see the point of it. If what you want is better expressed as the X1D II, buy that camera. When I use the back on the 500CM body, I usually crop to square. I can do as Darr does and put it on a tripod rotated 90 degress if I want to as well. But if you really, really want to use the full native format the most flexible way, move to the X1D II and get the same sensor, the larger display, an EVF, and buy the XV Adapter to use your V system lenses. It's the same thing in the end, although you do give up flash sync and are constrained by the foibles of an electronic shutter in some ways.
Used with the lens shutters in my 500CM, cropped square, I've gotten super 39Mpixel square format photos with the CFVII 50c. The integration is superb: I feel like I'm just using the 500CM with an infinitely long roll of film in it. If I wanted something different, I'd have bought that something different instead.
