Frankly an optical scan of a 4x5 slide should be more than good enough, if you're not gonna be blowing it up too big.
I've built a foam case for me Sinar F kit manually and everything fits into my backpack
You may want to consider a 4x5 camera with a 6x7 or 6x9 roll back (Calumet)
if you have a digital camera with metering you can use it to shoot slides. or use your slr for metering, if you trust the results your'e getting from your SLR. once you shoot slides, you may never want to go back to negatives (at least that's how I feel nowadays)
I don't think there is any medium format kit that allows you tilt and shift options at a reasonable price at all. I think at the most a brand or two may have a specific lens iwth tilt and shift functions (rollei) but that lens cost about 3 times the amount you'd pay for a whole large format camera set up
and $7 is a small price to pay for a gigantic sheet of negative. steep learning curve but once you get used to it, you won't be able to go back to a smaller format....
If you're interested in a Sinar F1 do a search on that, I was in communication with a fellow who went by the Clubsnap moniker harshan who was selling his at a very reasonable price
