Canon EF 200/2.8 L II with R6 or R6MKII?

Anybody with experience with shooting with this lens? How is the AF and how many FPS are you getting in high bursts both mechanical and electronic shutter?

I'm seriously thinking about getting the R6MKII + vertical grip mainly for portraiture and sports (indoor volleyball and outdoor tennis).

Alternatively I have an EF 70-200/2.8 L IS (I still have my 5DS and a bunch of EF lenses) and thought about just getting a black sleeve to make it inconspicuous to bring to stadiums.

Presently, for sports I shoot with my 24 MP APS-C Sony A6600 + 135/1.8 GM lens which is perfect for the sports I mentioned. However, I'm lured by the 40 fps albeit I know I won't get that much with EF lenses. I've seen the tennis shots from the launch and I thought the rolling shutter using ES was well controlled.

The other alternative of course is the R5 and just use my 135/2L and crop it.

Thanks in advance.

José
