We shoot about the same type of subjects and I also have a T6s, although I upgraded from a Rebel Xti. From 10 to 24 megapixels the difference is huge, likely not so much from 18 to 24. But anyway, I use a 10-18 for wide-angle so your 10-22 should be fine. Now about the long range, I use a 70-200 F4L IS and it is stunning on 24 Mp so the 70-300 L should be the same. What I would suggest however is not to update your lens until you have a chance to try it on the T6s, it might surprise you. If after testing you find out that the lens is limiting the combo in terms of resolution, then upgrade. If there is no chance to test it, go for it and Just remember the the 70-300 L is a noticeably heavier and larger lens. Good luck.

Happy New Year.

Thank you for the advice. I knew the L was heavier, but I didn't count on it being noticeably heavier. That's a major consideration since I'm a smaller person in my late 50's. Yes, I agree with testing my current lens first. Have you heard anything about the new 70-300 II that came out last month?
