Should I prioritize high-quality lenses or a top-tier camera body?

Post Body
I’m about to upgrade to a full-frame camera (non-negotiable!), and I’m stuck deciding how to balance my $3500 budget. Here’s the dilemma:
- Option 1: Get a pre-owned body (Nikon Z7, Sony A7 III, or Canon 1DX II – all priced similarly, and in decent condition at $1150) and use the rest of the budget for high-quality lenses. I'm limited to these three options, because the place I've narrowed down to, for getting this gear, is offering me very good deals, and comfortable payment options.
- Option 2:Â Splurge on a new body, but start off with more basic or budget lenses.(I'll probably left with only enough to buy a 50mm f/2 prime and mot anything more.
What would be the smarter choice for someone looking to maximize value long-term? I've been always a portrait person and do indoors occasionally. Would love any advice, especially if you’ve been in a similar situation!
