I still want your 6D2 and lenses.

Ewwww! Are there people who actually want a 6D2?

Why not? I've seen the pictures you take with it.

Funny you mention it!  I haven't been posting pics much since I got the even the 6D, much less the 6D2.  But, your compliment is appreciated!

I like the 6D. The 6D2 would give me an articulating screen and better AF.

Exactly so.  It's funny, 'cause the 6D "should have been" what the 6D2 is and the 6D2 "should have been" the R.  In my opinion, at least.

The R will come down to the same price soon enough. I'll get one then.

That's the plan.

Technology is very interesting. I don't crave it for its own sake, though.

Indeed.  Why do I want the R?  Smaller and lighter than the 6D2 (before the 6D2 came out, I said that a camera that split the size of the SL1 and 6D would be perfect, and, well, that's the R), better AF (although I'm very happy with the 6D2 AF) to include eye AF, more base ISO DR (assuming it's pretty much the same sensor as the 5D4), and IBIS.  Whoops!  Strike the last one. 

Anyway, is it worth $2K for that, assuming that's the price of a refurb after tax?  Dunno.  Might be smarter to wait for the next-gen.  Truth be told, I'd swap my entire kit for an R + 28-70 / 2, which would be a great move since that costs more than my whole kit.
