I think an A7r would be a better camera in nearly every respect, including resolution, except for one: size. The A7r is pretty darn small, but you still need to put a lens on it. That full-frame sensor demands big glass, and if you're using old glass, you'll also be using a big adapter to increase the registration distance, and the whole setup is going to be pretty big.
I'd find a way to rent or borrow an A7r and see how you like it. I hope you stick around, but you gotta use what suits you best, whatever that is.

Thanks for that. Looks like the SD1M is the only one with an update.

Interesting, but not surprising. The original Foveon stuck around from 2002 to 2010 with only minor, incremental tweaks along the way. At that rate, we can't really expect a revolutionary upgrade until 2018, full-frame or not.
It's funny to see how different companies are from one another. Pentax is a brand of a company with a parent corporation and lots of shareholders. Sigma, on the other hand, is completely private. Kazuto Yamaki
is Sigma. New camera?
He might think about it.
I'm hoping this new camera is a revised SD1. Just a few little tweaks, especially the addition of live view and faster photo processing, would be fantastic. Maybe they could bring back the top LCD, too.
