The R and RP lack the eye detection AF of the R10 and R50

There's eye detection available, albeit not at the same level when it comes to tracking at certain speeds. For posed portraits it's fine.

Yea I tried that when I still had the RP and I have to say that it was underwhelming.

and that alone would make me pass on them at this point.

And which fast focusing shallow DOF lens would you choose for the R10 or R50 to benefit from those fancy eye tracking capabilities?

I use the RF 100-400 quite a bit with it and am extremely pleased.  My EF 500mm f/4L IS USM and EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM also work beautifully with it.  After getting used to the eye-tracking offered by Digic X I really have no motivation to own any of the older cameras.
