See above.
To add one more thing: in my opinion those types of cameras need more discipline / force you to slow down because of the left-right confusion. Especially levelling things and getting lines parallel to image boarders etc.
I once gave my mum my Mamiya, asking her to take a picture of me, and she got so confused and was moving around like crazy.. it made me sort-of sea-sick just looking at her, it was ridiculous!

If you get the hang of it you're rewarded though in my opinion:
with medium format waist level finder cameras I get a much clearer idea of the whole frame than even with the nicest SLRs.
Yeah I completely understand how slowing down helps you compose. Just frustrated me that once Id decided the shot I want, I struggled to achieve it. Im sure this is just practice. I've only taken 14 frames so far
