The Fuji is nice.   I have used some grey market in years past.  But no
longer available in states because of patent issue.  But did just talk
to Fuji rep the other day and apparently the patent issue has been
worked out (money changed hands) and soon the Fuji will be available via
Canada, including the stuff so good you can do reproductions from. 
Can't wait.  I find the polaroid just fine, but of course we don't have
weather here in San Diego, just sunny days and warm winds, beautiful
women and cold beer.  But for other locations I do like the BW polaroid
to test strobe setups.  

And I always carry 12 exposure rolls of polapan or polachrome just to
run through main camera each morning before shooting on location.  Cheap
insurance.  In twelve exposures you can test each lens and strobe.
