Also I don't get the advertised 12 fps when in mechanical with the Tamron.

Very interested in this thread! I have an R6 which I'm using with my Tamron 150-600 G1 lens. I've recently had some out-of-focus issues in certain conditions (such as BIF bursts) and was wondering if the AF of the RF 100-500 would be substantially better in terms of speed and precision. (I'm also hoping it will be substantially sharper than the G1.)

Did you get the repair-center firmware upgrade for the G1 that came our for the R?  Many people (myself included) report no AF at all with the G1 on the R5, and I assume the R6 might be the same.
