From my 1dx and 5 series experience, I would expect the following real life comparison to still exist between R3 and R5/6:

R3

Build, Feel and handle like a pro camera - so much so that you’ll take nonsense photos just for the fun of it.

better meter that will show up in more difficult lighting conditions.

Cleaner and easier to clean high iso, plus more depth to the pixel colour

Faster grab of focus. It’s not just achieving focus, it’s the shorter time to focus

obviously higher frame rate, plus more choices

more accurate awb

much longer battery and potentially drives long lenses faster

heavier body weight balances longer lenses better.

As an aside the R1 will be more expensive and not be built for sports/wildlife.

R6

way cheaper.

I have a lot of advantages in R3 and a few disadvantages.
There are many disadvantages in the R6 and few advantages.
I am most interested in the image quality, which camera produces the best raw material (RAW), and which camera has the fastest focus)

R3
Disadvantages is the price.
I have no problem with size and weight, everything else is no problem.

R6
Advantages is the price.

Disadvantages,
The viewfinder turns black in the photo pen which causes a lack of focus and images (huge disadvantage).
Additional disadvantages, and with each disadvantage you can talk and get along.
No water and dust tightness? You can buy a shield.
Short battery life? You can buy GRIP and batteries.
No data screen? You can do without.

For me, the most important thing is the image quality and focus, which camera gives both the best and what is the percentage difference in the lack of image quality, does the price really justify it.
