Anyone selling their FS700 to get the new Fs5?

The obvious advantages of the FS5 - 4k internal, better monitor placement, lighter, better grip, etc.
But if your goal is good 1080p output, are there really that many advantages? Meaning the used FS700 market is now in the ~3k territory or lower, and the FS5 is roughly double that. Has the sensor changed that much? Will the FS5 do lower resolution 480 FPS?

I've found myself using the FS700/7Q on the Ronin a lot lately. Heavier than heck. The Ronin is heavy enough, but the camera combo is becoming just too cumbersome these days. Main reason i'm thinking of selling for the FS5. However, i hate giving up that lovely ProRes! Very tough choice, i can't wait to see some reviews, test footage. Been wondering the same as you. Will the image quality be much different? Also curious if the Auto Focus is any faster, because it's something i'd definitely use on the Ronin.
 
I'm just not convinced for my needs the FS5 is worth twice as much as a used FS700R. I think for most things being equal the sensor/image/color/low light will be very similar.
