If you can't.... I'd recommend 800 f/6.3 instead.
And I'll counterpoint here: The 800/6.3 is wonderful, but the portability of the 600/6.3 is unbeatable. Hold them side by side before you decide to go for the extra 200mm. The 600/6.3 isn't a whole lot different than the 70-200/2.8 in terms of weight and size; it's physically longer, but less than 150g heavier. It's incredibly light. Packs well. It's a dream.
The 800/6.3 isn't huge, but ... I mean, it comes with its own backpack. Take that as you will. Or, if you like numbers, I'll just point this out:

Everything is on sale except Z50ii. Must be a very popular camera.
I agree with Thom Hogan; the new DX lenses (MC 35/1.5 & 16-50/2.8) will help sell the Z50II; so no need for rebates.
"I'd say that these two lenses strengthen the likelihood of Z50II selling well through the upcoming holiday buying period; the Z50II suddenly looks like an even more capable, serious, and up-to-date camera when you put the 16-50mm f/2.8 VR DX on it instead of the older kit lens."

When I compared B&H pricing (Canadian dollar) to Canadian Nikon sales prices, Canadian prices were lower. I had bought a D850 previously at the price they are now selling at, but they are now selling the Z7-2 at that same price. I would be the first to admit I would have bought the Z7-2 had it been available at that price. But, on the other hand I would not have gotten the trade in value I got for my Z6 which was significantly higher than I had expected. And who cannot love the shutter sound of the D850 compared to my various mirrorless cameras. I cannot regret my purchase.

Picked me up the Silver Zf Sepia during this sale. I sanded and stained the grip and added the shutter button as a cherry on top.
Wow that's pretty.
I've been fighting the temptation to get a silver Zf during the sale and this is not helping.
