It sure why your instincts tell you to go for a crop body.

The 16-35 on a crop body will not be as wide as on FF, in fact the 16 will only have the same FOV as a 25mm on FF. I have the 16-35, of all my Canon lenses, it's the least impressive.

If it were me I'd rather have a lesser lens on the FF body.

The 6D is a fantastic camera, particularly in low light, if widefield nightscapes are your main aim then the 6D should be your starting point, the cheap Samyang 14mm lens on the 6D will poduce better results than the 16-35 on a crop body.

Take a look at some of Mike's work using the Samyang and 6D if you need convincing.
