What I would miss is something else. My grandson has a mirrorless camera (G7 or so) and whenever I grab it I am disappointed that I do not see anything in the viewfinder if I don't turn on the camera! This bothers me far more than a limited DR. Because I always at first look through my Pentax OVF and only if what I see is worth to be taken I turn on the camera .

This! I search compositions with my camera. If the viewfinder gives me weird color shifts and unwanted contrast increases, it gets in the way. I see something,  bring the camera to my eye, and think, "No that's not beautiful." I need to fall in love with what I see to want to snap the shutter. Often, the EVF fails to deliver.
