Wow! It's good to see someone driven by practicality over marketing!

But here I think you're nuts! Just try to tilt
your lens forward or backward a couple of degrees onthe 67 or 35mm. You'll miss it
quickly.

Glad to hear it. Enjoy it.
I've also re-evaluated. I don't shoot professionally and am not hard on my cameras.
So unless I find a Pentax LX for $100, there probably won't be one in my bag any time
soon. (Though I am getting a ZX-5 for cheap in the next week or so!)
I do wish that the 645 was shaped like the 67 and had a spot meter built in.
