I don't think the r5ii will perform quite up to the a1/z9/r3 because of the lack of a stacked sensor, but it should hopefully be able to close the gap...sticking with the smaller form factor is a huge plus in my book. That's what has kept me from using the z9...

True.

The 5 series is one class lower than the 3 and two classes lower than the 1. Surprised that Canon chose to upgrade current R5 and R6 first before releasing something higher.

I can relate to the chunkiness of Z9. I tried to hold the camera and 2470 f2.8 Z for a while and my arm was exhausted😂😂. To me the R5 is more similar to a D850 or baby Z9 than the Z7ii. Nikon may release Z8 but it will probably be a camera like the A7R5 which I don't prefer except its screen design.
