Agree on the R7 recommendation, much better reach, more cropping leeway and overall noise level should be similar to the cropped R6 images but more detail (the more light the better).

True up to ISO3200, not true from ISO6400 up. Check out the link I posted.

The only relevant advantage of the R6 Mark II for this use case (ergonomics aside) would be IMHO the improved rolling shutter.

Otherwise the other option currently available to gain significantly more detail is the R5 as already mentioned
