at hi ISOs a FF sensor is vastly superior to 1.6 crop, and that has nothing to do with print size.

At narrow apertures, a smaller sensor can shoot equivalent DOF and FOV with wider apertures and there is no low light advantage.  Low light advantage comes with shooting at wider apertures where smaller sensors and optics can not compete.  6D is one Canon sensor with high efficiency, but there are other small sensors that are competitive if not still better in read noise and dynamic range at low ISO.  So again high DOF low ISO photography benefits the least as long as good optics are available at all formats.
