I want more dynamic range so that I can...?

I shoot exclusively RAW, never JPGs.  I want extended DR to be able to capture a shot requiring minimal PP on a fairly bright day that can properly expose sky and clouds (including the detail within them) and not woefully overexpose my subject on the ground.  Today's 7D simply has insufficient DR to properly render such an image without intense PP.  If you expose for the sky, the rest of the image will be way dark and must be brightened in post.  If you expose for your subject, the sky and clouds are often blown out.  I've been able to save images with this issue, but frankly, I don't have the time to spend 10-20 minutes fine tuning every image shot under these conditions with LR.  I'd prefer much better OOC performance.

I know better DR can be achieved with today's technology.  I've shot side by sides between my 7D and wife's NEX-7 (both taken in RAW).  No question that the NEX-7 does a MUCH better job of capturing a wide tonal range under challenging midday light. I want the 7DMk2 to deliver that sort of performance (among other things).
