Thanks BirdShooter7 (and all others). All relevant comments so far support my thinking. I would need to pay roughly 1400€ to upgrade, so at this point i think i wait for R5 mkii and see, if i could afford that and keep R6 as the second body.

If you were shooting events, sports, or other groups of people I’d recommend the R6 to R6ii upgrade in a heartbeat. The additional AF selectively is that useful.

However for wildlife you can set up the R5/R6 (and use technique) to usually work around this. Which by the sound of things you’re already doing. Don’t get me wrong, the upgrades are nice to have, but (IMHO) not crucial (esp for 1400€).  I think it’s sensible to wait for the R5ii.
