I have both the 1Dx2 and the 5D4 , Love them both. For any Shoot outside my studio, I mount the 70-200f2.8 mark 2 on the 1Dx and a 24-70 f 2.8 on the 5D4. This way I am covered 24mm-200mm. Since the 5D4 has more resolution I decided to mount the wider lens ( more to crop). The 1Dx is much faster in focusing and shutter speed , its image capture rate superior, and has low light performance much better.
Yes the 1Dx2 is heavier and bigger but well worth it. To my surprise I find that the 1Dx2 its my everyday everywhere carry, with either the 40mm pancake lens or the 24mm-70mm f2.8 mark 2.
Agree, I also shoot with mostly the 24-70 and 70-200 too on my MkII. I had the 40mm pancake but gave it to my daughter. With it it doesn't even look like you have a lens mounted...

I shot with film for years. Wildlife and landscape for the most. I used a Canon 1V for wildlife and birds in flight. Canon 100-400 L series.
I later went to the Canon 1D Mark 11 and have no regrets. The camera has the same feel in my hands as the 1V, and yes it is heavy, but so is the 1V, and the Mark 11 will do the same job and better in many situations.
