61 AF points vs 11 AF points (aside from that, any difference in AF performance?)

I think there will be a difference in AF speed, just like the difference between 7D and 60D. canon loves artificial product differentiation.

Well, the 6D is advertised with -3 ev AF vs the -2 ev AF of the 5D3. However, in practice, I wonder if there's any "meaningful" difference between them.

You got that wrong. The 5D3 only does AF to EV -0.5 not -2. So that's a significant difference.

Canon has -2 to +18 listed as the AF working range.

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_5D_Mark_III/#p-specification4

Down to -0.5 EV is listed for the MarkII

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_5D_Mark_II/#p-specification4

I take these spec sheets lightly, the 1DIV was supposed to work down to -1EV but in tungsten light it gives up way way before that.

My first impressions of the 5D3 AF are very good.

Sucks or slight disadvantage, who shoots at ISO 12800 all the time anyway.
