I think it sounds like a very good idea. Why not. You’d get most of the size benefits plus a better grip.

Thanks

One point, the RP viewfinder has the same specs as the M50 viewfinder, as far as I am aware, so that wouldn’t be a differentiating factor.

Well, that's surprising and disappointing.  I thought that I had read that the M5's viewfinder was .6-something-x magnification, and comparing with the X-T1/R that have 0.77-0.78x magnification, there is a world of difference.  As such, I was thinking that the 0.70x on the RP had to be somewhere in between the two.  It does, indeed, look like the RP and M50 use the same screen.  Odd that the glass on the EVF opening on the RP is larger.  At least, it does stick out less from the back.
