The main issue for me is enlargement. True, 8x10 contact printing can be the best-quality process in all of photography. It also opens up the possibility of printing on Azo paper at a size that's not for ants. But for anything bigger, 8x10 enlargers are rare, massive and extremely expensive.
There's also the fear of buying a brand new system. LF always intimidated me because there's just so many brands and types of equipment out there. It's a mishmash.
