I think one of the differentiating points is the use of film inserts\backs.. I would say the 67 is a <insert rude word> to load in 1) rain, 2)cold, 3) dark.
If the 67ii had film backs (which would of course change the camera completely!), it would be my ideal camera. I decided against the 645 when buying because it looked too 'clunky' esthetically, I didn't like the lens range, didn't see too much 2nd hand movement.... but now with pentax'es new commitment to the lines, I would be a little more swayed!
