Re: Canon M6 II with kits lens or Body only + buy a lens?

I'm looking to upgrade from a Canon G7X II which was my first camera that got me into photography.
I want something to step up to and the M6 II seems to tick a lot of the boxes - I know it is three years old but still looks a good camera and something newer like the R7 is a little too big of a leap for me price wise.
My main question is whether people think the M6II kit with the 15-45 lens and EVF for around £1050 is a good deal and an acceptable lens for that package? Or whether the 15-45mm lens should be skipped, and I should go for body only and buy a lens separately? That would mean not having the EVF too though. My main uses are family and travel photography.
What do people think?
£1050 seems a little steep.
Body only available for £749 and kit for

You could add an excellent or like new condition used EFV for £149 / £154

A good copy of the 15-45 is OK and is nice that it is wider at the wide end than most - but dont reckon to pay more than £50 for it.
