Whoa. Such an incredible lens, and I'm still trying to work up the courage to sell mine. 🤔

Can I ask what convinced you to sell your 100L?

Actually this is the second one that I've owned and sold.  The first one was when I hurt my back and couldn't (hand)hold the lens any more for macros.  I was indeed very sorry to see it go.  I sold my beloved (and heavy) MP-E65 Macro at that time too.  OUCH!!

Now I should be taking delivery of the RF 100L 1.4x Macro this week (It finally shipped!).  Just sold the 2nd EF 100L to fund it.  I really want the extra "magnification," the increased image stabilization, and the (supposedly) improved autofocus on my R5.

For my M6ii, the Venus Laowa 65mm 2x Macro is absolutely outstanding, though completely manual.  I'll take it out when I want something nice and light, and it isn't windy out.
