* One correction to a comment from Lance Shad of Digital Transitions in the thread linked above. Lance writes " I do not see any other manufactures offering upgrade paths".
Hasselblad does have a trade-in (upgrade) program.

So basically an XF system is more expensive if starting from scratch as you need to add in at least one lens which used to be bundled (and I doubt the chosen one would be the 80mm). The starting cost of the XT system is also higher since the body is now $1000 more.
Good news for many that wanted to upgrade to IQ4 as the backs themselves are a bit less expensive now.

Those differences are pretty minor when you think %.
Of course the absolute price reduction on the IQ4-150 enables you to buy a Z7 and 24-70mm f4 which is going to bring you very close in terms of objective performance up to A1 prints, making up 95% of the actual use. ;D
Just kidding of course.
