The only exception is the Sony RX100 III we use in alpinism or other activities were weight REALLY matters.

We own a EOS 6D M1 and an SL1 (100D).

We currently have EFS 18-55, EF 40 pancake, 50 f/1.8, 100 f/2, 16-35 f/4, 24-70 f/4, 70-300 USM II, other stuff like Samyang 14mm f2.8 for astro...

What we are looking for:
We would like a body with fast, accurate and easy to use focus.  ....something lighter than our 6D, ....not necessarily looking for something VERY light.

So, given what we have, do you think the Canon EOS RP would be a big step forward for what we are looking for? And if so, with an RF lens? or what we have is more than enough?

Parsing through your posting [above], I think you have two camera options:

1) RP: same sensor as your 6D, fast, accurate, easy to use; lighter than your 6D; and,

2) R6:  much better sensor than your 6D; fast, accurate, easy to use; and slightly lighter than your 6D (680g v. 770g).

Personally, I think that you have some rather good lenses that would be leveraged with a better sensor than the 6D or RP, but that's just my opinion.
