BRAW was the second main reason to switch. If someone is going to pull the trigger on that, call Adorama Used Department, tell them you want to sell your URSA and purchase Pro from them right away and they'll give you a very nice deal. They give you shipment label → look at the camera → you pay the difference → now you can use BRAW (which is the only thing I use know since whole post-production environment is DaVinci anyway).
As much as I understand the swap from 4.6K to Pro, I still can't justify doing it since I've got a suspicion that a new URSA Mini will be announced at NAB this year and I'd rather wait for that. At this time it makes more sense to go from UM4.6K to UM-2019 than the Pro.
We'll find out in less than two months of course. Yet, I'm still going to hold out hope for the UM4.6K to get BRAW.
Well, I made the purchase/swap back in December knowing that I will be using PL lenses many times until April's NAB (my 4.6k was EF), so that move wasn't ONLY for BRAW. But yes, Vegas show was such a big announcement opportunity for BMD in the past couple years — it's definitely worth the wait for someone looking at cameras now.
Unless if you think of it as: URSA Mini Pro is already a perfect camera to them, they can add and currently adding new features to it (new codec, new Color Science, two more audio channels, etc...) and even changing the sensor while keeping the camera the same (like they did with URSA Broadcast), so maybe it'll be just more improvements to the existing body. Even if BlackMagic will announce a FullFrame camera, I simply don't have any FF cine lenses
