You got the RF f/4.0 L at it's introduction price. At it's current price the value for money ratio is worse. The RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm is great for everything except for AF (and to a lesser extend bokeh maybe). For AF - even low light AF - I would pick the A7IV + Sigma f/1.4 DN any day over an R8 + RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm.

A7iv + Sigma 1.4 costs almost twice as much ($3698 vs $1998). For a more fair comparison (in terms of price), it should be the R8 + RF 85mm f1.2 ($3998).

That's a fair point. It will be helpful for low light AF, but not for AF speed.  For ergonomics and portability I know my preference between those combos.
