R at $1299 on Amazon right now

I don't know whether this would change your thinking, but Amazon just reduced the price of the R to $1299. That's by far the lowest it's been for a brand new R. I got mine refurbished for a bit less than that, and still think I got a great deal. As others have said, the R will be pretty good for what you are wanting to shoot, and the picture quality is excellent. The main restriction is the 5fps top shooting speed (with continuous AF), but unless you're shooting very fast action, I don't find 5fps to be too slow at all.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
