Then do _not_, under any circumstances, hold one.  You'll buy it for sure
(though, personally, I'd go for the 45 rather than the 90).

I try to stay away from them for this reason. :)  I need to buy my .58x M6
and 28/2, maybe a 35/1.4 _first_.  The XPan would be a luxury camera I'd get
once my working kit is complete; though you can shoot it in standard mode,
it's a bit hefty to lug around for that, and I don't feel the need to shoot
a lot of panoramas yet (though it's a nice compromise b/t 35mm and medium
format).
