If you are on a limited budget whats the point of investing in half an MF system
Buy a 1DS3 and every TS lens they make

Agreed.
I mainly use a P45+ on a Linhof M679cs for external shots, but increasingly I just use a Canon (5D or 1Ds MkIII) with the three T&S lenses plus 14mm and 35mm lenses for interiors. Key reasons are,
1. Access to a really wide lens. I can use the sliding carriage on the Linhof to quickly stitch two frames and give an ultra wide effect, but who wants to deal with a 110Mb + image.
2. Much more compact for use in cramped interiors.
3. Critically important, you don't need so much room behind the camera, especially with an angle finder.
4. The new software that Canon ships with the 1Ds MkIII allows quick and accurate correction of distortion with the 14mm and 35mm L lenses.
5. Reasonable file sizes for HDR shots.
6. Easier to achieve larger depth of field with smaller apertures than with a MFDB.
