I guess I would be willing to spend an additional $16 for a CFE card with 5 times the write speed of the SD after spending $5-6k for a camera. At very least the cost difference would not be a factor in system decision.

Exactly my point, in response to the person saying that Nikon was forcing people to use dual CFe rather than providing one 'cheaper' SDXC. Nikon clearly made the decision to optimize around the fast output of CFe, which are only going to get more ubiquitous, cheaper, and faster in the lifetime of this body.

Now that I have the R5 I really like the CFe B cards. SDXC are so last season. I want two CFes in my next camera.  I have1TB and a 2TB CFe B card.  I got them on sale but the were still expensive.  However, in a couple of years they will cheap and common place.

With R5 and 8 RF lenses the money for good cards is trivial and very nice to have.
