    what do you like to shoot? 6D is a very slow camera and its AF is quite poor when it comes to moving subjects. it's mainly a landscape camera.

    Since you photograph mainly birds the 7D2 is a no-brainer. You mention the 500mm f/4 so I guess you have the budget for it, if so then that would be a better fit for "mainly birds". Either version is good, but version II is better. The seemingly soon to be announced 100-400 may be a good option, especially with a TC for extra reach when needed, if reviews are good when they start trickling in.
