i love commitment. you are not getting the full benefit of of the system if you get a generalized plate for you camera body vs an L. the ability to go from landscape to portrait w/o having to go through a complete realignment is a big step foward. in addition the loading on your tripod is still centered over the central axis off the legset. flopping sideways throws things off just a bit. if you shoot macro you have further improved capability in the you can adjust from the side and go off axis with certain pripods and do some great manouvers with it. moving your plate(s) around is also going to get real old real quick.
arca swiss plates are fairly bulky and ewighty in relationship to the rest of the makers
