R6mkii vs R5?

Hi folks
I'm about to upgrade to mirrorless from my old workhorse 5div which has seen better days.
I feel like the R6mkii is better in that it is newer technology, but also that it is a step down from the 5div in build quality and not being a professional body.  The R5 seems preferable due to resolution (I print larger 40x60" and like the option to crop in when needed), 200k extra shutter life and the professional body are definitely swaying my decision...but does the new tech in the R6mkii outweigh those things?
I'm a professional pet portrait photographer, mostly dogs and horses, equal studio and outdoors for both (and related commercial).  I don't shoot sports anymore, but both do obviously move fast but portraits are 90% of my work.  I regularly print 20x30" - 40x60" so image quality at that size is the most important thing for me.
I'd love to hear others opinions as to what would be the best body to chose?  I have to make a choice in the next few days (equipment needs repairs and I have a full client load coming up).
Thanks
