I don't know if it's the "best way" to go, but it certainly is an option. I was thinking that film costs could be kept down by shooting 35mm in the TLR, and not having to change film so often during a session, while still having the choice of using a larger format.
I don't know what you mean by the Rollei 80mm being as good as the Leica lenses. As has been discussed before, there are many characteristics to consider when judging a lens, and there are numerous short tele Leica lenses, and several options for 75mm and 80mm lenses on the Rollei. One thing to consider is that shooting 35mm with the Rolleiflex puts the image in the lenses "sweet spot" whereas with the Leica, and other 35mm cameras, one must use the entire lens to get the same image size, with all that entails.
