Carlos,
12 is not a lot of exposures and it always pays to take more than one shot of a
subject. So, processing a whole roll is not a big deal to me (unless B&W 120
film is really expensive in Argentina…).
Plates really only make sense to me with larger film like 4 x 5 “ or 9 x 12 cm.
Unfortunately, I broke down and sold my 4 x 5 Nikor tank after keeping it
around unused for 6 years.

I'm becoming a Rollei Plate adapter fan, at least whilst I have 6,5x9cm film
sheets in the freezer. You needn't to wait to use an entire roll to develop
the pictures and the film sheets are easy to handle, they are rigid and since
the camera keeps the 6x6 format, you get a comfortable surface to handle the
neg without risk to damage the image.
These two pictures were taken last Friday with the 'cord IV Schneider Xenar,
Wephota 100 panchromatic film sheet and developed yesterday in Beuitler A+B
1+1+8. The sunlight was very strong when I took the images, it was falling
almost vertical on the camera, and the light reached the film sheets upper
area (the velvet is a bit old) but it was the empty area, the image area is
perfect; the film gate/camera protected the picture zone someway:
