645 Medium Format - Mamiya or Pentax ?


I am about to go travelling in the far east and India. On my travels I want to build up a portfolio of travel and nature pictures for a stock agency and for travel articles. I am already using a canon eos 3 but would like to take a 645 camera with me also.

I have seen a few reviews of both the mamiya 645 afd and also the pentax 645, but would like your opinions. Most nature photographers seem to be using the pentax - although this doesn't have an interchangeable back. Is this due to better lenses .. faster focusing .. ?? What about the digital angle on all of this ?

Would really appreciate any insights into this as I need to make my decision in the next month.

Thanks !
