AF is not the driving issue - both I'd rate as ok

for paid work, you need two bodies

for paid work, you should have dual slots

the R6 was designed for paid work indoors but is expensive

Dual slots have never been an issue for me, but i do have some lvl of anxiety that out of the blue my sd card will corrupt hahaha. And im keeping the toy looking m6mkii even if i upgraded to a full frame(my main target, not interested at the r10 / r7 at all). Its small, its fun and its autofocus is a huge upgrade for me ( been using 70D for like 7-8 years before)

on the m6II -- I'd also get m32 f1.4 and DXO PL5 with deep prime for class leading Noise Redux

you could make that work along with an R7 and a 70-200 F2.8 and DXO PL5

Eager to test out the 32mm f1.4 but im comfortable enough with the 22mm ( good old 35mm) and the 56mm sigma. Might adapt an Ef 70-200 to my m6 mark ii and try out the DXO PL5 thinggy. I've heard its the best in its class for NR.

Most of the lighting on my events / night wedding, even with the f1.4 56mm @ 1/125 shutter(1/90 if desperate), iso is dangerously close to the limit 6400 iso(most of the time im using auto iso set limit to 6400), yet alone a f2.8 glass (70-200) for sure will need iso 12800 which is pretty unusable for me. But there's IS on the 70-200 so that might help if i go as low as 1/60... i hope?? (more than 100mm with 1/60 shutter? Thats probably pushing my luck LoL)

Anyway, Will study and try DXO PL5 and hope it can clean up noise without drastically reduce sharpness and quality better than lightroom haha.
