Own an R, 6D and M5 bodies, but pining for an M6II as the dedicated body for the M32/1.4 lens. Talk my out of buying one.

hmm, but now we're into FF bodies, more weight, and more costs

More costs, but A7C + f/2.5G is pretty manageable when it comes to weight, and the FE 28-60mm will blow the ef-m 15-45mm out of the water, so you don't need an extra camera (RP+24-105L for instance) for your zooming needs.

But to your point, yes, it's a different price class. M wins for price, definitely.

Sony's odd eco quirks ruins it for me though

I'm wondering what the A7CII  would bring to the table.  All it needs is a front dial for the 28-60mm. The 50mm f/2.5 G has an aperture ring, just like the f/1.2 GM.

right concept, but not ready for my prime time

I get that. And for the 50mm (equivalence) the M6II + 32mm are competitive, not only for price, but also for performance. The M6II has the 32Mp, but the A7C might win for low light performance. And as soon as where talking IQ of zooms the A7C wins as well.
