I wonder if you might consider how the comparison looks when you add the 1.4x to the R7 as well. That is the apples to apples comparison as far as I'm concerned.

Then add the 2x TC to the R5 and compare it with the R7 with 1.4x. Either way, each pixel samples the same subject area. If you keep adding teleconverters, sooner or later you will have magnified the image so much that you find it unacceptable. And here's the crucial point: If you compare the same TC on each body, you will reach that point faster on the R7.

Your comparison should be this: use 1 step greater teleconverter on the R5 then on the R7. Which one gives the better image? I don't know.

If you're determined to throw money at this, then by all means go ahead. I can tell you that some people who have used both cameras for birds prefer the R5.

So now you pay your money and you make your choice. The owl carving is a famous, fairly useless example that has no feather detail.

EDIT:  This post sounds annoyed, but it really isn't.  I envy you your choices.
