OVF to EVF transition success?

Anyone here who’s shot with an OVF for 10+ years that was tentative about switching to EVF (Canon R6) but was won over in time, and now don’t even think about it? Or if you tried R6 but ended up with R5 for its higher resolution EVF (realizing resolution isn’t the only factor as color reproduction, contrast, DR factor in)?

My situation:

I was parted from my 5D mark2 and lens recently and am tempted to get an R6 and get on with it. The R6 looked quite good and got better and better when I rented it for a couple of days; eye-brain adjusting and learning to set it up I suppose. But not long enough for me to be 100% convinced; likely my remaining OVF psychological baggage.

I shoot exclusively with 35mm prime or 24mm prime TS (industrial and urban landscape and architecture) and would like to shoot more video. I appreciate the smaller size of mirrorless and not having to look at the back LCD and histogram on it to evaluate exposure and focus, as well as other possible advantages.

Any success / fail stories?

Worst case is I switch back to dslr one day (5dm4) but wanted to hear of any transition success stories with switching to EVF on R6 quality specifically.
Thanks!
