The crop mode on the a7R bodies works nicely as you still end up with a relatively detailed image. However, I stopped using the crop mode because on multiple occasions I forget I had set it that way and later kept shooting cropped images thinking I was in "full res" mode. Yes, user error. Yes, there are viewfinder clues that you are in crop mode. I just decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I just shoot full size and crop in post if needed. You get the same result. Only advantage of in-camera crop is a smaller file and more images per card which might be useful when traveling.
The 100-400 + 1.4x TC is a viable alternative to the 200-600.
