In fact, the 645 negative is large enough to make a huge
difference to the technical quality of your pictures compared to
35mm. The jump from 645 to 6x7 has little effect on final print
quality unless you are into very large prints.
As a point of interest, I have many 11x14 prints on my wall,
some shot with 4x5, some shot with 6x7. Under normal viewing
conditions, one is indistinguishable from the other.
I hate printing 645 negatives.
