The price for this back is fantastic but how does Hasselblad justify keeping their CFII 39mp back so much more expensive?

If they make the CFII too cheap, they might sell more H2F+CFII kits than H3DII kits, which would be problematic for their chosen direction. IMO ultimately the customer decides what they want anyway. If Hasselblad doesn't give people what they want at a good price, people will go elsewhere, and I think this is why Phase One is so strong.

Fair enough of a comment. I have a P21 today and it appears to work with finders that this back can't accommodate.
I do have a question that is half way off topic. I have a Hasselblad brightscreen in my 501c and a waist level finder. I used to use the PM90 finder. Do you guys think with a finder with more magnification and a top of the range accutematte that I could learn to focus relatively quickly? I could focus with my Nikon FE all day long but I can't focus in a timely manner to save my life with this thing. I would be interested in keeping my Hasselbald if this sounds feasible.

What makes focusing slower on the Hasselblad? Is it the throw of the lens, or the screen isn't crisp for you?
FWIW, I do find it easier to focus with the RM-2 (3x magnification) than I do with the PM-51 (2x magnification), using the same screen and same lens.

I was planning to get Hasselblad 500 series or even Mamiya RZ, but i will go with Phase One DB over Hasselblad DB.

An Acute-Matte D screen should make a big difference. The micro prism/split image (42215) is easy to focus even with low mag. PM prism. The WLF mag is 4.5, the highest mag prism finder is the HC-3 at 4 x.
