Well IF I were totally happy with the Hasselblad other than the eye level
finder, there probably is a grip viewfinder combination that will work just
fine for you. You might have to custom make a grip ect, but if happy with
everything else I would go that route.
IF there were reasons other than the finder involved, such as lenses are too
expensive to be able to afford the different focal lengths I really need, then
I would switch systems.
Smart move for thinking it through first which ever way you decide.
