hi guys. is A7 right for me ? Used market, A7 and A7ii has difference of about RM900 (still a lot of money)

What I have :

a vintage 50mm f/1.4 lens
a modern 24mm f/1.4 lens

in the future, I might add a vintage 135mm

I only shoot manual. Is A7 ok for my usage?

I wanted to get D700, but after thinking hard, I'd rather have something much smaller.

The a7ii has an integrated stabilizer
The a7 does suffer from sensor reflections, the a7ii does not
The a7ii has a more ergonomic grip but it is also significantly heavier
The a7ii has mount made of metal, the a7’s mount is partially made of plastics which caused some issues.
The a7ii offers improved AF performance, it even works qite well with some adapted Canon EF lenses
The a7ii has a more ergonomic shutter release
The a7ii offers a better video codec
The a7ii is about $600 more expensive
