I'd never drop a large chunk of change on a camera and expect it to still be relevant in 7yrs.
On of many other possible alternatives instead:
Instead buy a Panasonic G7 for a tiny tiny fraction of that amount. Invest the rest. In two years time buy a Panasonic GH6. Three years after that buy a GH8, etc...

With the red mx sensor you have a nice look/colors out of the camera , redcode is fantastic in term of data management honestly .
The red one can have a m42/nikon mount for cheap and you can get cheap glass.
Consumer product are consumer product , today you have a lot for the money, but you still usually have poor codec / dynamic range / colors compared to even older equipement .
For still, is use a mamiya ZD , it s a 22 megapixel medium format camera , it s native iso 50, it s slower than any new dslr and it s 10 years old .
But it was more than 15k when released and and paid 2k for it couple of month ago, but in term of highlight handling / image quality / look it s just way better than any sub 3/4k usd camera on the market today.
But that thing is made to be use in pro environment , with flash/lighting equipment ect.
If you want something easy to use / fast and your clients are low budget , go with the consumer grade stuff , then upgrade regularly.
If you want to get higher clients invest in entry pro stuff, or second hand high end .
If you plan to shoot fashion / music video I would avoid the red mx and the scarlet because of the lack of 4k slow mo.
Personally I pre ordered a kinefinity terra 5k , with the speedbooster you get T2 zoom and the vistavision look on a native iso 800 camera . raw/pro res and 4k 100 fps .
RED Scarlet-X or RED ONE MX (full kit) with lens
