It's partly budget but more about justification really. How often do you really need to have two camera and lenses set up ready to go? The answer is probably not a lot for most people. A zoom such as the 100-500 covers a big area especially with 45mp's to play with and you don't need to fill the frame with the subject when you can crop, especially if it's just for personal use or the web.
My biggest fear would be the camera coming to grief and having no back up, especially when I'm on holiday in Africa and in the middle of nowhere. The R7 is not what I hoped for really so I'm left with the R3 or R6 because although having two bodies the same is seamless there is no gain either. The R3 has to perform better but the lower MP's are a worry although they didn't bother me too much when I had the 1D series cameras, it's a lot of money though and would involve extra expense of CFexpress cards too. The R6 on the other hand looses on most counts except the money!
