I have read from a number of people the LF cameras have a large
advantage over other cameras because they can shift the lens and
thereby avoid perspective distortion that a camera with a fix lens
would suffer.

But with today's panoramic tools this seems like much less of an
issue.

You really ought to post this in the large format ng as well.
rec.photo.equipment.large-format

(I'm familiar with both techniques.)
