I am in general parting ways with my M6 Mark II and all lenses...

It sounds like you've made a well-reasoned decision.

Nearly all of my paid gigs (a passive but lucrative source of income for me) is now leaning towards corporate portrait and product photography, for which the RF system again is superior.

It's a natural move for any photographer shooting more and more paid gigs, IMHO.

FF mirrorless can definitely give you more options and more capabilities.

On the personal front, my priority is family travel photography as we are now able to resume some degree of domestic travel and likely some foreign travel by the next quarter of next year. This means mirrorless FF assures me of “no-hassle” photography under any lighting condition (as we love visiting night markets to feast on street food).

Here is where the vast majority of experienced travelers prefer a much more compact (and less expensive/intrusive) system. I really don't see anything that the M6ii + DxO couldn't deliver on (hey, now I'm sounding a lot like MAC! )

The grass is much, much greener with my R6 and the just ordered 50mm 1.2 😁

A great pairing! Before you posted this I was going to advise you to not rely too heavily on the (cheapo) RF 50 f/1.8 for serious stuff...  I have one.

Good luck with your new roadmap, and be sure to stop back whenever you can!
