Does the R Crop Mode kill the need for my 80d? (or other APS-C)

Be aware, he says in crop mode is NO 50p/60p possible!

This isn't surprising as canon  lists this "feature" in the specs for the R.  1080p/60 uses the full sensor readout not the crop. 
While the (theoretical) improved quaility is welcome, it is disappointing that there is not at least the option for a 1080p/60 crop mode..  As it is now, to have the same FOV at 4k and 1080p/60 you would need two different lenses.  If you are all one or the other it isn't an issue but if you switch between the formats.......
