John,
The M7 is an entirely different camera for entirely different uses. I certainly
wouldn't want to shoot portraits or product photos with one, but for landscapes
and street shooting, it's perfect.
The interchangable backs on the 'blad are proven and trouble free. It is
actually (at least the 500 series) a very basic camera. Right now, the resale
on the Mamiya are probably holding up better.
The advantage of the square format is for people that shoot for publication,
catalogs, etc, where the 8x10 proportion is not desired.
