The Graphic View II is the one to go for.  They are surprisingly light - 
although mine is most definitely in used condition, it is very stable and 
has all the movements that I will ever need from it. It packs down small 
enough to make backpacking possible although some people would not consider 
a monorail for landscape work it does mean that you have a very flexible 
camera that could be used for many different types of photography. Jim 
Hemenway (on this list) is selling one at the moment.
