I carry 7D, 5D MkIII, 15/f2.8, 24-105/f4, 70-200/f4, 500/f4, 1.4x and 2.0x TCs. That certainly gives me full focal length range (although I'm Jonesing for a 600mm to replace the 500mm).

Is there a full-frame mirrorless right that'd cover my 15mm to 400mm range?

I'm afraid to think about replacing those L-series lenses with equivalents. $$$

Of course, matching batteries, cards and accessories has its advantages.

These are all valid concerns and in large part what has kept me from jumping. I do lots of long FL work as well and I love my "specialty" lenses that it seems only Canon has, like my 24mm TS-E, the magical 135mm f2, and the super tele's. So I couldn't give up Canon entirely. But for WA and near tele stuff, a mirrorless would suffice. I'm just not sure I want two systems.
