It sounds like you have put a lot of thought into this change and it seems like you are making a very rational decision.

Personally, I have not been a fan of running multiple systems with different mounts. In the end, these mixed systems always seem to end up bigger, heavier, more expensive, and less efficient than just focusing on a single system. Sometimes that big and expensive lens actually ends up being a bargain when you eliminate the need for bodies and accessories that are not cross-compatible.

True. Had I decided to sell my entire M series gear, I would have fetched more than enough to buy a really good prime RF lenses. Yes it was, to say the least, more costly to run two systems. And less convenient. It did feel I was doing it for portability. I guess that part is partially correct but no longer worth all the other compromises. Like spending less time on DxO PureRaw which can sometimes hostage my high-end desktop for hours. Often I'll let it run overnight. It's a PC config that tops at around 125 watts. That ain't cheap on my electric bills.

Wow ! You work for Intel and can't afford to run your computer. Sorry to hear that.

2 big oak trees fell in my yard and I am now thinking solar panels.

Wow, that's so judgmental of you. When I said it hostages my desktop for hours, it's because I'm converting hundreds of images on DxO PureRaw, converting videos, etc. Why are you so triggered by my criticism of how raw files from M6II needed help from DxO when this forum is littered with praises on how such process is being professed like the holy grail of post-processing? 😁
