Neil:
 My message was in response to Jim's question.  I am planning to stay away
from anything bigger than an SL66, but I like the bellows focussing system
as used in SL66, and Mamiya TLRs and Mamyia RB, I believe). Makes for
simpler more affordable lenses.

 The X-Act 2 really looks like a studio-only camera  to me which is what I
defended the SL66 wasn't.

You would seem to be a prime candidate for the Rollei X-Act 2!

As it doesn't appear to be a popular system, could you give some insights
into what you *don't* like about it?
