Been mulling getting a 3rd M6ii body all week long... your post finally triggered the realization that this probably really is the last chance to get a somewhat 'new' M6ii with the chance to swap it out if something is wrong... silver M6ii refurbs are out of stock already. So I pulled the trigger.
I also realized that the M200 I have can't serve as a replacement should one of the m6ii's die.... doesn't have 4k video at 30 fps with dual pixel AF, and no mike input! One of my few Black Friday purchases was a second mike (Sennheiser MKE 200) and 2 Smallrig cold shoe plates for the M6ii's.
With 3 M6 Mark ii's, a white full-spectrum M200, a black M200, the entire collection of EF-M Canon lenses, 5 3rd-party EF-M mount lenses, and probably the world's only (DIY) EF-M 2x teleconverter tailored for a custom modded EF-M 55-200, maybe I'll be the last man standing in this forum, to turn the lights off a few years from now LOL.
In your case makes total sense to take advantage of the fire sale.

I was toying with the idea of buying an M6ii but I already have a 5D classic, a 6D, an RP, plus 2 Leica M bodies, so adding a completely different system makes everything but sense! A second RP for 599 is tempting too.
I will wait for the next-gen of R bodies so I can use my RF lenses.
Indeed, you’re pretty well set for now.
The M6ii does have a pretty unique form factor though, especially with that wonderful tilting LCD. It remains the funnest camera I’ve ever owned, and is my go-to whenever I’m not shooting birds or making money.

Yes, I am set, and buying more bodies would be GAS only LOL. I forgot to mention that I sold my Fuji XT3 to fund my RP, but still have 6 Fujinon lenses that I am planning to sell to get more RF glass, starting with the 24mm which sadly, was not part of the fire sale!
