I took the new SL2 + 400mm 5.6 + 1.4 extender + 18 stops solar filter for a spin.
The SL2 flip screen was a neck saver for almost 3 hours.
We had 80% coverage of sun today north of the path of totality.

This image was taken at 2:31pm when max. coverage occurred.

Nice shots!!!!  I have the same combo, but opted to shoot the partial with my 5d mk IV. They are good, I have no complaints about them, but I wondered if I could have gotten as good or better shots with my new SL2.  From your experience, I think I could have.
