you could try to get a mamiya 7- you might be able to find one for a grand, but that might be pushing it- check keh.com. i guess it might be a bit too pricey after the lens purchase, but keep it in mind if you want to splurge and get a really good investment.
but if you want the extra two centimetres of negative, go for the fuji. i haven't used one but photos i have seen from it look great. it should be fairly light, though it is large and won't fit in your pocket or anything.
another option is the pentax 6x7- not great for really low light despite the fast lenses available(mirror vibrations)and not great for fill flash (1/30 sync) but as far as straight natural light, not too dark outlandscape stuff goes, it is a great camera with great lens options, and sells for about your budget.
the gsw690iii is something i really want, it should be a great camera for your purposes, but keep your eyes open for other non-6x6 medium format cameras. good luck.
it's kind of big, but the gw690 is huge also. the pentax will just be heavier, with interchangeable lenses.
