Every time I see these kind of posts, especially with a reference to FF, I have to wonder. If money is an issue, especially a couple grand, what are they going to do for FF? The new Canon 70-200 F4 for the RF mount is $1599 MSRP and the F2,8 is $2599 MSRP. I'm guessing even when we start seeing a lot of third party RF lenses they will be several hundred dollars. Even the nifty 50 for the RF mount is $200 and the cheap zoom, the 24-240 is $899.

The "cheap zoom" is the RF 24-105mm f/4.0-7.1 that retails for $399.

The RF mount also has the RF 600mm f/11 for $699 and the RF 800mm f/11 for $899.  What Canon lenses are less expensive and can be adapted to the M system that would provide the respective 400mm and 500mm for equivalence?

The size and weight differences are also huge.

Yes, the EF-M 32mm f/1.4 is quite a bit bigger and heavier than the RF 50mm f/1.8.  Much more expensive too.

It really shouldn't be a one or the other type choice.
