So John,
are you recommending that I get a 6x7, or print less from a 6x9 ;-)

Garry is correct. More labs can cope with 6x7 easier and submitting MF
negs/trannies to them is not the same as 35mm format. They will
typically print only traditional sizes 3.5x5, 4x5, 5x5 (from 6x6
format), 8x7, 8x10, 11x14, etc. from medium format (note that the
ubiquitous 35mm 4x6 print is missing). This is because the machines
used to make inexpensive "machine" or "commercial" prints from 35mm are
different from those used to do the same from medium and large format.
You can have any print dimension you want if you're willing to pay $$$
for a custom print of "custom" dimensions. Most labs will use the
custom print price for the "standard" print size that encompasses both
dimensions (e.g. ask for an 8x12 from a 6x9cm negative and you will pay
the custom 11x14 price).
