Bryan,
Having be a sports photographer for 5-7 years and now primarily in the studio, I think if you're doing mainly sports and action, mf is a questionable choice. Focus is slower, lenses shorter, dof narrower, there is no fps - instead spf, high iso not available, no zoom lens comparable to basic 70-200 dslr workhorse, no lens stablization, and things you take for granted with dslr are not there.
However, the quality of any of those mf cameras will blow away any Nikon or Canon, as long as ISO is not on the higher side, but that's still best seen in larger prints or groups. S2 probably handles most like a dlsr, but at a high price and limited lens options.
