The problem is.. I'd have to buy a leaf shutter lens The Blad's lenses (T*) for my 500 c/m are all leaf shutter so no matter what lens I have, I always get to sync up to 1/500 no matter what focal length I use. That being said.. the lenses for the blad are more expensive - but they can be rented from my local rental joint - Pentax lenses are cheaper (in terms of price, not necessarily quality) but cannot be rented. It's a toss up - but I'm sticking with my 6x6 for now.
