I use the RZ almost exclusively handheld, with the AE prism, motor drive, and L-grip. It makes it quite ergonomic (relatively speaking, of course), and though heavy, it's well balanced that way for the most part. I use it a lot for portraits but also for landscape and just general shooting. It is one of the fastest MF rigs around, with the motordrive and AE prism. You can shoot 1+/fps without trouble, and batteries last forever.
The GX680 is an interesting system, at least on paper, and the movements are a nice touch, but it's pretty huge and unwieldy in some situations, and given the weight and complexity, if I need movements I just use a 4x5. (which in addition to being lighter, has more movements, and is generally cheaper - thinking something like a crown graphic or meridian 45B here...). Additionally the GX680 angle-finder is not a prism, it's just a mirror finder, so there's still left-right reversal. The RZ67 has a true prism, so things are correct top-bottom and left-right, just like any 35mm SLR.
