For the glam stuff I've just been shooting the D2X as it's easier, especially if I'm working for the model doing image sets. But for anything I actually care about, I shoot the RZ and there is NO comparison.

I have the 220 back but to be honest would prefer another 120 instead.

Do you have the polaroid back for it? I love it.
I started out in photography back in the 70's with a RB67. It was my workhorse camera for many years. I had several 120 backs and a 220 back as well as the Polaroid back. The Polaroid back is the key element in the package because it let you do your lighting ratio tests, color tests, etc. Now we use the LCD to do the same thing. I had to end up selling it when my back started going a little bad. The thing is pretty heavy as you know, especially with the larger lens. I was a wonderful feeling however to work with those huge negatives or slides in the darkroom.

Cheers,
