Paul,
That turned out to be one of the advantages of the re-design when the A7s
came along.  I found noticeably less shutter vibration with it than I did
with the A7r, and I'm benefiting from it.  It was really apparent to me in
the short period when the M9 was my only camera.

Have you upgraded the firmware yet?
