OT: 645 - Pentax compeditive

I have been thinking of getting MF 645 equipment that will allow the use of lenses for Pentacon Six/Exakta 66/Kiev 60 through P6-adapter. I have found that Pentax is quite competitive economically, A Mamiya 645 1000s with AE prism is about the same price as a Pentax 645 = 350 USD in used condition.
