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.

Yes, this is a really important point. I agree. If the image looks the same on the R7 with the 1.4x as the R5 with the 2x then there really is no point in bothering with the R7 at all.

One reason might just be autofocus - as TC's impact and slow this down, potentially also affecting accuracy.  Now the R5 work very well with the 1.4X.  The 2X III  I am still coming to a conclusion as does not get much use.

Personally if I did not "need" full frame and was always cropping - I'd get the R7.
