Would it be worth it for an advanced amateur photographer (stills only - not interested in video) to move up from an a7 IV body to an a7R V body?

What I find interesting:

- Improved AF with subject recognition

- Improved EVF (9,440,000)

- Improved IBIS (8 stops)

- Higher MP sensor (although, file size would be much larger...)

100% worth it. I did just that and couldn't be happier. The EVF and articulating LCD alone makes it worth it. Definitely better image quality and much more room to crop in of necessary.

Also, quite a leap forward in autofocus I think, even if the A7IV had great autofocus as well.
