Chez,
Yes, you have been very consistent in advocating the price is more than you feel it is worth. To that point, I will whole-heartedly stand behind you as being totally consistent and I respect that position of waiting for the price to come down for personal budgetary reasons.
My humor was just to highlight that if someone were to accept the plethora of impassioned voracity of alleged greatness that is perpetuated regarding the A7R II in the Canon Forum (noting that it receives mixed comments in the Sony forum) ... it would stand to reason that it would be such a magnificent investment, with an ROI that your strategy @ waiting will not really gain you anything.
Which, since as the cost of the A7R II comes down, so will the A7R and the 5D2. If that is your strategy, you might as well pull the trigger on it now, lest you continue to miss out on all the great shots that you are losing out on by not having the A7R II. How many missed opportunities will it take to offset any marginal difference in the arbitrage between now and whenever that might occur.
In that regard, this is not meant to be snarky, nor adversarial, but really if that is your objective ... you might as well get on with it, so you can get on with it @ shifting from A7R + 5D II to A7R II (retaining your 7D, I assume). Legitimate offer of perspective for consideration from one FM'er to another fellow FM'er.
Insinuating, insulating, insulting (fat fingers curse all of us at times) ... if I offended you with my snarcasm, I apologize. I just found it a bit humorous and figured as a "crusty ol' cuss" (term of endearment), your skin was plenty thick enough for (hopefully) a good-natured, light-hearted, poke in the ribs.
First round's on me.

Rusty, believe you me, I've given it a lot of thought in selling both the 5d2 and A7R and buying the A7r2, but in doing so I still have to shell out $1,000 which I'm not prepared to do. My logic is the 5d2 has slowed it's price descend and so has the A7r...but the A7r2 hasn't even started. I am not in a big rush as the A7R has great image quality at base ISO which I typically shoot at, and in the near future my photo trips will all be landscape so I don't need any of the AF or IBIS of the A7R2. Now next year I'll be trekking through SE Asia for a few months...this is where I'd love to take the A7R2. I'm counting on the price coming down after the initial rush.
As far as beer goes, I only drink micro brews...being spoiled by all the great pubs in Portland.
