The 6x7 is the oldest version, and not all of these have MLU.  The 67
was next, and all of them are supposed to have MLU.  The 67II is the
newest and thus the most expensive.  I have not tried the 67II, so can't
comment on it.  Since the film transport system on these cameras can get
stiff over time (as has happened on my 6x7), I would recommend going
with a 67 that's in as close to new condition as you can afford.
www.keh.com is the place to look to get a feel for prices.
