My biggest complaint aesthetically about "B" is the curved Pentax nameplate on 
the front of the viewfinder.  I like the classic straight name.  I think the 
curved nameplate has a cheap look to it, as if Pentax was unable to fit it on a 
straight line.  Having said that, there is a dollar amount at which I would be 
tempted to buy the 645D regardless as to which body Pentax chooses.
