I haven't taken a 4x5 film image in over a year now.
I've replaced it with digital mosaics.

Impressive but probably beyond my ability. I have trouble stitching
panoramas together.

Impressive indeed. From time to time one finds a jewel amongst all the NG
noise. Off to research Panoramic tripod heads, great, more gear to spend
$$ on.

To potentially save some $$, then consider whether just positional
accuracy (ie rotating the camera around the entrance pupil of the lens),
or whether you need stability to prevent camera shake for longer
exposures as well as positional accuracy.
Something like the panosaurus head (google for it online) is quite
inexpensive, or it's not so hard to make your own.
Something to provide good stability as well, will be expensive and may
not be what you really need.
