Hello,
First thing to know, the 60 fps is available only with Prores, and not in Raw.
Otherwise, I can tell that the BMMCC is absolutely a wonderful tool and even if I own a UMP, I won't sell my BMMCC.
The colors and look of the BMMCC have something really stunning and "cinematographic". I can't explain why, but I can't find the same look in a BMPCC4K nor the UMP.
4K resolution isn't necessary at all as a lot of equipment are still in 1080, and most people can't see any difference between HD and 4K (Try it in a mall, with a HD and a 4K television side by side...)
But, you have to consider that the bmmcc will cost you more mone than you plan to. It's a camera that needs to be rigged up (A cage, a handle and a screen, at the minimum). Actually, the less expensive and more interesting screen I found was the Ikan VL35.
On the great advantages, the form factor of the bmmcc let you, with imagination obtain shots that you can't without bigger cameras.
For the control of parameters, they are not easy ; so you'll have to find a one little remote v4. But they are now all sold out, and the manufacturer stopped to build them. So I believe the price will rise.
You can build very interesting rig parts of your own to suits your need with it. If you're a DIY fan, you'll be happy with it ! (For example, build or adapt larger batteries thant the LP-E6)
I can't tell you anything about the bmpcc as I don't own it, but all I can say is that the LP-E6 will be there a problem.
