Cheers guys.
6D it is, just got to find one thats not 5 years old and folk asking nearly new money for it!
Seen a lot of folk comparing 6d to 5d3 instead of 5d2 like I thought was a more fair comparison, I guess at least a whole generation newer sensor and image processing makes that difference. Centre focus point on 6D apparently takes down a lot of others (the other 10 are usual canon 'never lock onto anything' jobs, but I can deal with that) right upto latest 80/90d and others of same current generation.
Gonna pick up either a 17-40L or a 16-35 IS, an old gen 70-200/4 (don't really need to IS or 2.8, seen as 6D does much higher iso cleaner), and a 42/43mm STM as a walk about lens. Feels like a reasonable bag to tackle most things.

Got a 6D. It wipes the floor when it comes to noise and high iso. 5D2 has banding.
Autofocus is better on the 6D as well. The 6D2 isn't much improved sensor-wise so I think that's why the OG has held its value somewhat.
The wifi is genuinely useful, too.
