EOS R vs R5/R6 metering- in evaluative

Just wondering if anyone that has had both cameras has any experience with this. Is it the same, different, improved?

My experience with EOS R is that is very heavily weighted to focus point in this mode- even in evaluative... and at that not very consistent.

Thanks!

I would say they are about the same. I have the R and R5.

It is the same but I a feeling that the R5 is underexposing it a little compare to the R when shooting in AV or TV mode. I always almost compensate with +1/3 or +2/3 of a stop. The R was almost always spot I recon (for my style at least).
