I was in your spot recently and thankfully the Crane V2 was on sale last week for $499, so I jumped on it. I would like the smaller Crane M with lower weight for traveling which is 90% of what I shoot. That said, I couldn't find enough data that it would work okay with one of the heavier lenses on the G7. For that reason, and knowing the G7 works well with the Crane, I went with that.
The G7 does fit on the Crane V2 well, but the light body weight means you need to move everything forward when balancing it. With the 14-140 mm lens I didn't have any issues balancing it on its own. However with a light lens you will likely need a sliding acra-swiss type QR plate. That will allow you to extend the weight forward even more than on the stock rails. I'm using one of these and it works well so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TB09SKS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In short, if you want to have full functionality with larger lenses (especially DSLR lenses with a speedbooster) go with the Crane V2.
I bought this exact one right here (a few of them actually)

and mounted it to the gimbal. It adds more weight, which was enough to balance my g85 and kit lens when I used that combo.
Now I have trouble balancing my gh5 and sigma 18-35 due to weight lol
Just so I understand - You prefer a lever-lock system rather than an arca-swiss system? Both are considered quick release systems, but yes, a lever lock is a little quicker.
​
Just a thought - you could just attach a lever lock clamp on top of the arca plate... so you wouldn't need a whole new head. Here's an example - https://www.amazon.com/Foto4easy-Camera-Camcorder-Monopod-Release/dp/B00TB09SKS?keywords=quick+release+ball+head&qid=1537220460&s=Electronics&sr=1-19&ref=sr_1_19

I get what you're saying now. In that case I'd try something like this. I don't have one but it looks like it would work with the Ultrapod II without being bulky.
