This is what ultimately saves me: I am, or at least I attempt to be, a photographer, not a collector. If I don't go out and shoot it, why have it taking up space?
My KP has an amazing sensor. Would a 645 based system give me so much more than I'm getting from my KP, Sigma 10-20 f3.5 (or my wanted DA*11-18), 20-40 limited, DA50 1.8 and 55-300 PLM? Maybe, maybe not, but at the expense of weight, low shutter speed, loud and slower autofocus if I get FA lenses, and the expense of time and money changing everything out. Or a Fuji Xpro3, 3 Fujicrons, and 100-400? The weight is gone, still have a good viewfinder, but is it an improvement? Would it help my art or desire to shoot?
Same again with the Leica M9 or M240, except no autofocus (though I do the rangefinder thing well) and no long lenses, practically speaking.
I see a 4x5 field camera in my future however, because that *is* something different. I've only used one once, but it was exciting!

Oh! I forgot the inevitable desire for a Fuji X100! I still might get one to replace my Olympus XA as my travel camera... and/or as a second body/lens to the Xpro.
