I bought the R6II right when it came out, so I had no idea the R8 was in the pipeline.  If I had waited until now, I would definitely be in a predicament.

I'm not sure if I see $1000 worth of extra stuff in the R6II vs the R8.  IBIS is nice, but I've also lived without it up until this point.  The fully mechanical shutter is another consideration, but also not worth the cost difference.

But I think if you offered me a trade, my R6II for an R8 and $1000, I'd also hesitate.  I came to the R6II from an original 5D and one of the things I wanted was to take advantage of all the new tech that's available now.  It would be tough for me to give up the IBIS now that I've had a taste.
