Damn.. so i guess im skipping the R and go for the R6 then..

R6 and RF 35 f1.8 + RF 85 F2 will be way to go

A big +1

For pro event shooting, this is your entry ticket.  The R6 is far more capable than the R and RP as far as Eye AF goes (or the M6ii for that matter).  The RF 85/2 is fast enough to do events, but if you need faster AF (for sports), then the Sigma 85 Art or the Canon 85/1.4L would be viable options.

Grow your business using these basic primes, then save everything up for one of the gob-smacking RF standard zooms (28-70/2 if you can swing it, otherwise the 24-70/2.8).  And then the powerful RF 70-200/2.8 after that.

Add DxO PL5 no matter what kit you shoot!

If you want to stay cheap as possible, keep using the (amazing) little M6ii, and add the excellent EF-M 32/1.4 (on sale now).  Stay with Spot AF.  Keeper rates rival my R5/R6, but I admit that Eye AF is very addictive!  

Best of luck with your decision!
