45MP is a really nice sweet spot for me.  I owned the A7R IV on Sony for a while, and there's no real practical difference between the 45MP on my R5 and the 61MP I had on the A7R IV, except the A7R IV files took longer to process.  40-45MP gives me plenty of resolution for large prints, room for cropping and so on.  Maybe in 10 years, when computing power and storage make the size increase more manageable, it might be nice to have that extra resolution, but it's honestly not a huge thing.  You're not going to see a palpable difference unless you're viewing very large images very close up.  I've made a few 80-100MP images via stitching, and they do print nicely and enlarge wonderfully, but the difference is fairly minimal vs. my 40+ MP images.

Also, I won't be spending $7,000 on a camera body, which is what an R1 is likely to cost.
