Harrison, For me, you really have hit the nail on the head.
I don't want to think another format. A recurring problem for me, with medium format, is the lack of ultra wide lenses. I then "think" 35mm. I have a considerable investment in Canon glass. I wouldn't have bought a 14mm if I didn't need 104 degrees. On the D60 it becomes like a 20mm+. A �2000 lens for a �400 angle of view with poorer resolution. I can understand the multiplier being a plus for some. But if the framing is a little loose then we can crop. If you can't get it all in then what? Photostitch? I don't think so. I have to buy a digital camera. My clients are starting to request digital origination. So I'm stuck between a rock and hard place. 1D with its low multiplier and resolution or D60 with its higher res and multiplier. I want the best of both worlds. Not too much to ask, is it? Did someone say "Contax"?
