I've been comparing them and don't see a real need to change... EOS R has some great intuitive features... but this old dog isn't ready to learn any new tricks... it's a whole different set up. I'm sticking with my mk4 and all my L lens.

I don't know what, it's a whole different set up, means but I agree with you. I'm sticking with my 5D mk IV because, it's paid for and it is capable of producing images just as good as an EOS R, and I don't need an adapter for any of my EF lenses, and the physical size of the camera doesn't bother me and I really don't need another camera.
If I want to go out shooting and wave the mirrorless banner, I'll just mount my M50, with 0.71 adapter, to one of my big off white lenses with a crimson band and have fun. Sure, it's only 24 megapixels but that ok with me. If I want 50 megapixels of resolution I'll just bring along my other 5D, my 5DSr.

I have the same body and a bunch of EF “L” lenses and see no compelling reason to move. My camera is very familiar, having owned a 7D and a 5D3, and does everything I want (it’s a better camera than I am a photographer), so not a limiting factor. The only reason I would move is for silent shooting in weddings if I were a pro, which I’m not. If I were buying new, maybe, but since, like you, I’m invested, no desire to “have the latest thing” with minimal advantage.
Amen to all you said! Thanks.

I would not make the move just yet, admittedly I have an R but I picked it up through a trade, I was not in the market to purchase one. I suspect that the second generation of the R which will probably be out next year will incorporate a lot of advancements from the original offering. I would wait.

Why should I “move up” given the significant expense?
If what you have works, and I see no reason to "move." Notice I left out the word "up." The Canon 5D MkIV is and excellent camera.
I went to a mirrorless system a few years ago, because I had not pursued my photography interest for a while and my kit was way outdated. It was a sudden decision, and I chose the Micro 4/3 mirrorless format because of the smaller size of cams and lenses, plus, I like to travel, so easier to carry. That's the ONLY reason. As you say.., why spend the money if you don't need to?
