I've had the same journey, and opted instead for a Sigma Foveon camera.

For black and white photography, the best high-end camera seemed to be the Leica M Monochrom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_M_Monochrom), but to my mind, it's trounced by the Foveon:

That's from a modified DP1m, but the SD Quattro H has an easily-removable IR filter and a huge sensor.
