Firmware is exactly as important as hardware. Good firmware isn't for free. It takes R&D costs to get good performing firmware. The M50II isn't a minor update over the M50I. It's a HUGE update. Don't forget the price isn't substantially higher! If it even has the AF speed of the M6II I might prefer the M50II over the M6II. In that case I'm ready to go back to 24Mp, the only thing I don't want to sacrifice is it's better dynamic range of the M6II...
in addition the m50II has internal EVF
I'd prefer the M50II over the M6II
For mounting speedlites it's not that important anymore to me as I will use full frame in low light conditions anyway.
an open hot shoe for odin triggers is important to me
Still the internal EVF is better, as I hate to mount and dismount that evf all the time, and with the evf permanently attached to the M6mkII the combo is simply bigger in the bag. Using the backscreen is not as good as you're spilling distance that could have been used to use more a more telephoto focal length.... Using the back screen you can have to switch to the 32mm while with the viewfinder the 56mm would have been fine.
that is my impression also
Using the back screen also makes the 11-22mm less suitable to cram as much as possible in the frame. Using the 50-100 f/1.8 or 100-400mm the viewfinder is absolutely needed
That said, when I have enough working space and with small lenses I do use the back screen, and that flip up design is nice for getting your lower angles very quick.
M50II + 56 + 32 may be for me -- we'll see at Christmas
M50II + 56 + 32, that's what I'm thinking too.
