I went through the same process when I upgraded from my 40D. I opted for the T6S (760D) over the 80D for the slight price advantage and the lower weight. The weight of the body was a big factor, since I found my old 40D just too heavy.

I have been very pleased with the performance of the T6S. IQ is excellent, features are plenty for me, and I do appreciate the lighter body coupled with some of the lightweight Canon lenses I have.

My one complaint is the limited life of the small battery that is standard with the T6S. I never go anywhere without an extra battery ... the battery on the 80D has much better life.

Another vote for the 760D. I recently upgraded my T1i. The T6s fit better in my hands, was lower in weight and price, and had all the features I wanted...touchscreen, new focus and metering system, new 24MP sensor, and the rear dial was a feature I wanted too.

I've been very happy with the purchase, $678 new body only international model off Amazon marketplace. Then I got a used 15-85mm from the same place for $392 with the rest of my budget.
