Hoping for "slightly wider dynamic range" ... I wouldn't toss the baby out with the bath water just yet, merely based on some marketing verbiage.
Imo, the thing to watch here will be WHERE in the ISO band will the pixel size, well depth, array, etc. harness / utilize its strengths / weaknesses. Will it be same, less or more than the others at base ISO, mid-range or uber-high ISO.
If they have set it up to be better at mega-high ISO, then it may not have "more" DR at low ISO than the 5D4. That wouldn't mean it was a "lesser" capable ... just that the gears were set up a bit differently ... kinda like having 4.10 gears means more "romp" than 3.23 gears, but not quite as good cruising mileage. So many things are degrees of compromise ... and our beloved craft is predicated on a multitude of diametrically opposed attributes that are simultaneously desirable, yet challenging to accommodate both ends of the spectrum optimally.
On the other hand, if they improve the base ISO DR, it might mean that the higher ISO isn't "better" than the 5D4.
I think the thing to consider here isn't that one will be "BETTER" than the other, but I bet we'll see that they are simply set up "DIFFERENT", and you may have some cross-over at where in the ISO / DR realm the different models perform. I'm hoping they lowered the base ISO (akin to th e 80D) to reap more gains there (but this may be not the case vs. the 5D4), with virtually none / nominal reduction to the uber high ISO range DR.
