I picked up a similar bundle at buydig for the t5i with 18-55 STM, 75-300mm, Pro-100 printer, and Lightroom 5. After selling the printer, 75-300 lens (it's pretty crappy), and LR 5, I'll be down to around $300 or so.

Keep an eye out on slickdeals, this rebate comes up every month or so.
Great idea. I forgot about sick deals. Great site.

So I mounted 24-105 and a 70-200. I have never held a more awkward camera in my hands. Complete lens-heavy, and unusable. No thanks.
It's a full-frame mirrorless camera, which is pretty impressive. It's smaller, lighter than a typical DSLR. I'm sure with the battery grip it would feel more balanced. The 24-105mm and 70-200mm are pretty heavy lenses to put on that camera body. Even with my 60D it didn't feel right until I bought a battery grip for it.

Those lenses feel perfectly balanced on my 50D without a battery grip. I just felt like I could lose my grip at any point with the A7R and the whole thing could come crashing down. But I do agree with you that the A7R is highly rated...

This one is out of your price range but might be worth the stretch: fuji x100t. There are many many reviews on this camera. I'm so digging it. It does require a lot more practice to use than a point and shoot, but it is so rewarding when you get a beautiful shot. No interchangeable lenses though. You must zoom with your feet and be creative in your composition!
