During the seminar I was at last Friday, both S and SR cameras were talked about at length. Until then, the only image examples I'd seen were either in magazines (not the highest quality of printing) or on the web (quality of image examples vary immensely. (sidenote: why do Canon post small jpegs on their example pages?)).
Images were projected onto a screen approx 4ft wide. What I did see was the SR is capable of resolving the most incredible detail. One example shown was a crop of a flower bed and stone plant pot - the "plain" 5DS looked soft almost as if taken with a cheap lens whereas the 5DSR was crisp without being over-sharpened. No contest, night and day, quite staggering. However! We were also shown a shot from the 5DSR of a cloth jacket. Yikes. The moire was grim. Like, traffic accident grim.
So, where does that leave us? Simple, get the one that will suit your type of photography and ignore those who tell you you bought the wrong body.
More importantly, where's the 1DX replacement?
The thing is that that grim looking jacket, that is actually happening EVERYWHERE the photo is in focus, it's just that something like the jacket makes the aliasing pop out to the eye, but it's all aliased throughout even where you don't get moire popping up and slamming you in the face.
If you were to project 50MP still sequences as movies (or more possibly playback 2-8MP 100% crops from 50MP stills as movies) I'd bet you'd see the R version crawling all over the place and thus clearly demonstrating that even the stills where the damage doesn't seem so apparent, is still there.
