It can certainly be incredibly good under ideal conditions. Working in a high end pro lab though I have printed extremely large (60 x 40 inch+) tests and the results were so close it was hard for people to pick. Sometimes it takes a reality check to recall why you loved that 42 meg sensor in the first place. With the best glass and ideal post processing that is.
The downsides I found were a greater proportion of handheld loses due to the denser sensor which therefore required a higher shutter speed/iso which lost some dynamic range and increased noise.
For me currently I would take the @40-45 meg with the build quality and the slightly better focus of the R4. It is the sweet spot for me and I lose nothing in real world. Lets see how close to that the A9II gets.
For those getting the R4 though Im sure you will love it regardless. Its what you do with it at the end of the day after all..
