Thanks for suggesting the 50R. I thought about that too but I am not sure why but I am not a fan of fuji's 50R or MF in general. Just not clicking with it. The shooting experience is not what I would find very inspiring ( I believe) or I am not sure if it has any big difference comparing to shooting with Xpro3 using EVF. The heavy chunky RF style body of the 50R really turned me off I guess.

Not trying to convince you either way as if you heart isn't pulled by the 50R that's just how it is, and those education/experience suggestions over gear sound truly great - however...

The size difference between the 50R + 50mm and the A7iv + 35GM is not huge, different shape though (less lens, more body).  The Sony combo is actually heavier.

For my way of doing things, the shooting experience of the 50R couldn't really be much more similar to the pro3.  The screen is different, there's no fast burst shooting - other than that they feel and operate virtually identically.  Obviously there's no OVF option.

By contrast, using a Sony is a totally different ballgame, a few people love it, a lot of people manage with it, a number of people will choose a different camera simply to get away from the Sony interface.  Definitely something worth getting your hands on, if possible, before committing.
