I considered this, but as I live in Europe, sending the camera to the US to be modified, I would be VAT\'d at 20% on its return, making this an expensive proposition.
Equally, as others have said, the mod to the lenses can carry over to other Sony cameras, and I did not want to deal with the colours being off.
I also wanted to retain the base sensors configuration for my native Sony lenses.
There is benefit to Leica M cameras aswell, which I hope to post photos at a later date. But an example is that older Leica M and Zeiss ZM lenses are necessarily designed for digital, but for film, and suffer to some degree with corner smearing also.

I maybe missing the point here (reading only 1st and last page of this post) but wouldn\'t be better to avoid all the hustle of modifying each lens for specific camera by just getting a brand spanking new, un-boxed A7R and sending it to Kolari for a mod?
It looks like the way around has more \'around\' turns than [limited] benefits.
