So, PhotoKhan, I wonder if having the R first as a bridge to the R5/R6 AF system might have made things a little less abrupt?

I went from the 5DIV to the R5.  albeit late in the game since I've had the camera for about 6 months.  I spent about two hours getting the buttons set up for what I do.  Nothing special, just the two back button focus settings, one for single point and one for eye detect, then a couple of C options settings, then getting the rear screen as I like it and since then, it's update when they come and shoot away.

It's been a fairly seamless transition, much easier than I anticipated.  And, the focusing capability of the R5 made the upgrade worth every penny, even with my third party lenses.
