Honestly, would you buy an R, RP or R6 over the new Nikon Z5 camera if primarily a stills shooter with no existing camera gear or brand loyalty?

I got an RP not too long ago to start playing with mirrorless with plans to upgrade to an R5/R6 for wedding work.  I actually really enjoy my RP.  I love the size and its been a great performer.  I think it would be great for a first time buyer.  For the price of body only R6, you can get the RP with 24-105mm F4 L and the new RF 85mm or RF 35mm (depending on what interests them to shoot).  Otherwise maybe even go the 24-240mm kit route instead if they wanted to shoot stuff they need more zoom (like kids sports, etc).
