I have had considerable experience with both RB and hasselblad systems, and
when it came time to buy, I got the 'blad. The RB lenses are VERY
flare-prone, even in a fully darkened room.

Well Ed, let's just consider it a matter of personal preference.
I really like the mechanical RB body, and the all-metal, more compact
C-series lenses, even if some of them are optically inferiour to the
RZ equivalents.
There's something deliciously solid and simple to the RB system, and I
do like the lack of dependence on batteries :-)
Both are fantastic systems. Oh, I don't take all 6 lenses with me all
the time, I usually pair it down to a 4-lens kit for lighter
traveling: 37mm/65mm/140mm/250mm
I have loved the RB system since I stared using it in 2008, it's just
perfect for my needs.
