George has pointed out the thing that distinguishes the R8/R9+digital back from the N/C offerings - and what makes it worthwhile even if you don't already have a raft of R lenses. Minimal dodads, a viewfinder that encourages composition, and nearly every R lens made from 1965 to the present will work perfectly, or can be updated to work perfectly with it.
