BIF and IIF AF with M50 vs M50 ii

So far I’ve used digital rebel and it’s 2020 replacement M50 for macro and backyard or hiking nature in single shot small zone AF often switching to manual focus.  Birds in flight or insects in flight are low success rate subjects sometimes lucky outcomes

Here are a few questions for M50ii vs the M50

does the ii offer any changes to peaking or magnification MF aids?

Is the AF of the ii so much better than M50 that it’s routinely useful for BIF or insects like bees or dragonflies specifically with the EF-S 55-250 STM or the EF 70-300 IS ii?

debating 2nd body vs longer lens.  Budget option for “and not or” body and lens might be refurbished for both an M50ii and the EF-S STM, adding 1.4x later on.

this is for 2 objectives that might be best met one at a time:  replacing tamron 70-300 vc sp from ~ 2012 that just lost AF motor, and desire for 2nd M50 to have 1 ready for old adapted film lens of the day, and 1 for AF IS lens.

thanks
