Shelby,
Some say I have a bias for Cambo and they'd be correct!
The WRS might not be the very best out there however it does offer a heck of a lot in its money class and I've never had a problem recommending it.
I used to have a tilt/shift lens when I was shooting landscape with a DSLR however I found I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. Then since switching to MF I had a T/S with the Mamiya 645 and again didn't use it as much. Since going to the technical camera I have not owned nor used, nor missed the ability to tilt/shift however I am a very firm believer in the rise/fall and lateral shift movements the WRS offers me. I can take my 120mm lens and use the movements to the far extremes and get beautiful images and that is the primary reason I would never have just one technical camera if it didn't offer movements.
I recommend saving for what you really want instead of jumping the gun and ending up spending more. I've seen used WRSs coming up on the second hand market now where just a year ago you couldn't find one. Then again you might luck out and get a demo from that place in Atlanta GA....
