 As lenses have to improve to get any real benefit from the high pixel density as has been seen here from the 50Mp 5DR, unless we are able to pay top dollar it doesn't seem of any real benefit to have multi zillion Mps sensors!

It does pay. The sharpening method used in the tests skews things a little, but look at the high numbers achieved in the center. You do get more resolution with higher MP sensors, and in worst case you do not get less. 

 

Question is, do you need the higher resolution? And do you want to bother with the big file sizes and longer processing times?
