i agree. i ended up acquiring both 400 and 560 televit and
trombone setups but it took years and the willingness to
buy "outfits" with redundant peices.  for example, both
400 and 560 televits were acquired as separate outfits,
but having two televit bodies wasn't a problem as i also
had a 280/f4.8 which mounts (via an adapter which must 
separately be sought out) onto the visoflex body.
that 280 used to be on a focorapid, but i also happened to
have a 200 which now sits on the focorapid.

for (relatively simple) lenses of this type, the "'bay" has
been my most successful stalking grounds, and i think i might
also have picked up some things from the LHSA quarterly 
swap catalog.
