Very tempting.
I think 6D is the way to go Mike. You've been getting exceptional images with your 5D2 no doubt about it. But you're pegged to ISO3200. ISO6400 is useable on most of these latest cameras from Canon, Nikon and Fuji. ISO12600 perhaps with 5D3 and 6D (in jpeg at least). The Canon jpeg engine seems to be very well optimised for noise control at high ISO. That's the advantage of the much faster Digic V+ processor. Its something like 32X faster than Digic 4.

Greg.
