It depends. If you shoot anything that requires fast follow focus, and
don't have time to focus, recompose and shoot, then the R system has some
advantages. But you'd be better off justifying it with a 180 or longer. If
135 is the longest you use, you might want to consider an all M system. But
you can't practically do macro compared to the R system, or long tele. 

So it's a matter of what you want to do with your cameras in the future.
