It there significant difference between M200 and M6 II when it comes to Video AF and IQ? I am trying to justify $200 additional spend on the latter.

There is a pretty big difference. 4k on the M200 uses a significant crop of the sensor and the autofocus is an unusable contrast detection method.  Due to the additional crop, wide angle 4k video is pretty much impossible on the M200.

The M6 II uses the full width of the sensor for 4k and the same DPAF that is available when shooting stills. Video quality and AF from the M6 II are a lot better than the M200.

In case you are considering it, the M50/M50 II have the same video limitations as the M200.

Depending on how serious you are planning to get into video, and what focal lengths you will need, you may be better served by shooting 4k video on a smartphone.
