The 135L will give you incredible headshots on your 6d! No doubt about that. F2 is a big difference from f4, so if portraits are important I think its a wonderful addition!

Thanks for your assessment diness. Any other thoughts?

I have not used the 135L personally, but have seen lots of results from it.  I did own the 100mm f2 and currently have the 85mm 1.8.  I did own the 70-200 f4L and liked it a lot.  The 70-200 f4L can do headshots and can do them quite well.  You will be able to get good to even great shots with it.  The 135L, from everything I have seen, will be capable of giving you the "wow" shots that you can't get with the 70-200 f4L.  So, it's really up to you.  If you really want those wow shots and you like that focal length and you have the money, I think you will really love that lens and it will give you results that the 70-200 can't.
