if you shoot only outdoors maybe the 100-500 can do it all.

if you also shoot indoors the 100-500 is about 1,5 stops slower than the 70200/2.8.

I wouldn't want to give up the f2.8 in the 70200 range.

One reason I choose the R5 was the ability to crop here and then.

I plan to get the 100-500 for birds and longer distance sports, but I expect the 70200 to remain my main sports lens (but I only shoot kids sports where I can get close and they play on smaller fields.
