I think I've decided to get an RP full frame. It's not much larger than some M4/3 cameras. Will wait until the holiday sales come up, so time to think. So, that's where I'm leaning now.
The body is nice but I didn't like the size of the lenses. I felt their grip was uncomfortable due to wider diameter while changing lenses.
LOL, you do get used to handling the larger lenses differently. My RF 28-70 feels like a bowling ball when I'm handling it! However you just need to support it properly is all. Once mounted on the camera (the R5, R6, and R7 have wonderful grips BTW), the weight isn't a bother. And once you start looking at the pictures, the weight virtually disappears!!

My quest may be different than yours. For ages, I am trying to slim and trim down my photo gear while retaining decent quality for my usage. I have no intention of selling images, nor burning money for gear which plays in "pro-league". The M-system has/had this potential for me, just lacking longer telezooms beyond 200mm.
EVERYBODY’s quest is in fact different and each individual is simply trying to find the right fit for themselves. It can be a bit daunting at times, but that’s why these Fora are so darn useful.
My recommendation has always been to “Know Thyself.”
I think you’ve probably gotten there, and I hope everyone else finds their best fit too. All of these widely varying recommendations reflect our own personal preferences, usage, and experience, and IMHO it’s a good thing to have so many choices. Much better than the alternative!
