I mostly use the R5 (paired with the RF 100-500 or EF 400 2.8 iii), only reaching for the R7 if I need the extra reach or as a lightweight walk around setup coupled with the RF 100-400.

The things I am disappointed with on the R7 are rolling shutter, very noisy mechanical shutter, lack of third control wheel, inferior viewfinder, lack of battery grip and small buffer. Yes, I know those things all save cost but I would rather have spent more for a crop sensor camera better matched to the R5.

I agree with a few of those those things as well. I never really liked grips but I would have preferred the ergonomics of the R5 or my R6II. Hard to get to the * button when you are busy shooting.  You can't map the AF point selection for AF.
