Personally I would have gone with something less professional with higher image quality and a better LCD as well as better ISO performance.
But flash sync at 1/500? Shutter speeds up to 1/16000? Bullet proof build? I think it was an awesome choice. Makes you a better photographer too, teaches you to get the composition right the first time.
