Hi Justin !
When facing the very same dilemna as yours, I was told by an old and
wise guy (member of my camera club) that Large Format is the better
known way to waste film .....
You never know what will be wrong, this time.... But when you've got a
fine neg, what an experience !
So, loan a camera, and figure out for yourself ! Of course, you have to
solve the loading/reloading issue, and the porsessing of the film (while
in SF, or keeping them 'til home ?)
Enjoy !!
