I have a 1DX III as well, and I would kill for an R5 in that body. The substantially better build quality and ergonomics are just wonderful, but I don’t care for the hit to resolution compared to the R5 for stills.
The 1DX III has mostly transitioned to video only for me, as it can shoot all day long in 4K HEVC or 5.5K Cinema Raw Light without overheating. My C200 isn’t getting nearly as much use these days.

R3 is coming later this year.
I went the other way with Canon and downgraded from my 2 5DM3. It was sad watching Canon fall behind with their artificial segmentation of features and releasing inferior products. 6DM2 and EOS R have to be some of the worst cameras of all time. But I'm stuck with Canon given all the EF lens I have.
The recent R5/R6 releases are a step in the right direction but a little overpriced compared to the gen2 Z series. That said I'm a stills shooter so I don't need the video features.
