Hmm...a bit undecided right now. By the time I pay off the Sony a7, maybe I'll be ready to get the EOS R. But I should probably upgrade my 2009 iMac first. 
My rule of thumb is to try not to yuck other's yums, even when they inadvertently do so to me. That guy was excited about his purchase and might have really wanted to compare notes, not just to establish dominance. =)
I try to give a thumbs up or at least show interest about people's gear choices even when they are lavishing praise or showing signs of jealousy about mine. I note that I'm privileged to have good gear and try to be worthy of it, but that it's the artist behind the gear that matters most. It's weird to have those conversations sometimes but I genuinely love to hear how people chose their tools and what they love and hate about em =)
Trust me, if that guy had seen a fraction of your photography Scott he'd have known who the boss is. I'm thankful you share your images, stories, and techniques here at HTF.
Richard Harris is all about the new Canon. He claims that for his uses it's a clear winner over the Nikons.

Looking at some of those lens prices, I think I will be using my existing dSLRs and lenses for quite a while longer -- $2,300 for the 50mm f/1.2, $3,000 for the 28-70mm f/2, $200 for the EF to RF adapter with the control ring. The body alone isn't too bad for a new body at $2,300, as bodies drop in price a lot quicker than lenses.Hmm...a bit undecided right now.

Oops, wrong Mr. Harris....Robert Harris?
Scott,
This one's for you... even though you're married to Canon, haha...
_Man_
If you're looking for a camera specifically for action in the current Nikon line, the D500 is definitely the way to go.and maybe I should really get something like D500 or eventual D750 successor? or maybe even a refurbed D850 specifically/largely for that in that case)...
