Looks reasonable, but isn't the Lens Control Ring the major selling point of the system?

"The major" may be a strong phrase. Camera UI customization I would certainly say is a big marketing point and the control ring is a new customizable control dial previously unavailable in EOS. In the EOS R the body only has two dials and the ring if basically a 50% increase of available dials.

I think that control dial is going to be pretty personal. Canon is putting it out at the front of the lens. Personally, my hand is not out that far so a hand move may be involved. Maybe a finger move would work. Maybe you just hold the lens a tad different. I think you gotta live with it to really ultimately know how you feel.
