Upgrade from T6i to R or R6?

Hello all,

I am looking to upgrade from my Rebel T6i to a full frame Canon. I considered the 5DM4 and R, have used both, but would rather go the mirrorless route. That being said, I am undecided between the R and R6. I only shoot stills, namely portrait photography.

I've spent a lot of time watching and reading reviews on both cameras but still unsure. I am sure that with coming from a Rebel either will be a quality upgrade.

I love that the R6 has higher shooting speeds and the new AF tech. My only concern (as it is for most it seems) is the 20MP sensor. It's technically a few less than my Rebel, but would handle low light better regardless. So I'm debating taking the few MP cut for the other features, or getting an R to start out with since it is still an upgrade from my Rebel in terms of MP, being FF vs entry-level DSLR, better AF, and (slightly) higher shooting speed...and then perhaps waiting for a higher-MP R6 2 to come out later.

Thoughts? Experiences with either camera?
