Trade my Canon 6dii for Canon M6ii?

Re: Have you considered the EOS RP?

Hmmm, ok, I prefer RLight's suggestion of keeping the current 6D2 kit and adding an M6II.  I have both these cameras and the L zoom.  The 6D2 is an excellent camera and not terribly heavy.  I pair mine with the EF 24-70 f4 L which has less range but is lighter and adds macro.  The M6II has some excellent lenses, I don't include super zooms BTW, but with adapter handles the EF 70-300 IS II really well and that lens is also compatible with the 6D2.  I think the OP also has a 100-400 which the M6II also does well with.  The R lenses have incompatibility issues.

The OP could also look at EF STM lenses to save weight but why?  All the cameras and probably lenses we're talking about will yield excellent images and we're talking minor tradeoffs.  But why would the OP want to trade camera systems just to use a cheaper lens?  It really is all about the glass.
