I absolutely think its worth the extra cash to get the revolving back as its so quick and easy compared to the non revolving back.
Its important to note that toyo makes 2 versions of this field camera.
The aii is a tank.
The toyo 45ar is the same as the toyo 45a both field cameras.
The 45aii is a great camera just heavy.
It is light strong enough for all reasonable use and fully featured enough for anything you could want it for.
The ar was imported by someone other than mamiya thus the different name i asked one of the mamiya vice presidents a few years ago.
Heavy solid very reliable.
