I want to move up from 35mm / digital because for me quality of final image
is important. I'm unsure wether to go to 6x6 or right into 5x4 (shooting
mainly ladscapes).

If you tend to wide angle, you might consider the Mamiya 7
rangefinder. The lenses are unsurpassed, and 6x7 format provides
more usable negative for rectangular prints than 6x6.

The main disavantage for landscapes would be the difficulty of using
graduated filters with the rangefinder viewer, and lack of camera
movements. If you routinely use them, the Mamiya isn't really an
option.
