I can tell you from experience, that the first release of the 6D is a fantastic camera for shooting stills. I like shooting landscapes, and when circumstances permit I like to shoot USB tethered with a Windows 10 2-in-1 tablet. The larger screen on the tablet is much better than the LCD on the camera. But, I have also shot some remarkable stills with my T5 at ISO 100.
The 80D is also a fantastic camera, which I have thought was the best buy in the Canon DSLR lineup since its' release, and still do. Side by side comparisons of shots with th 80D and the 7D Mark Ii shows the 80D has slightly less noise at higher ISO settings. Unless you REALLY need the advanced tracking of a 7D2, I would advise the 80D.
Enter the 6D2, with an AF system that is halfway between the 80D and 7D2, but with, hands down, better noise performance. I would have to use a 6D2 to judge the value of it, but my gut is still with the 80D as being the best buy. The 80D high ISO images nearly rival the original 6D, except in the most extreme scenarios.
If it sounds like I am saying that the 7D2 has been nearly matched and/or exceeded, then make no mistake, I am. The 6D2 would have to demonstrate a significant jump in noise performance before I could give it the nod over an 80D.

It sounds like it could be a really great camera for enthusiasts.
I'm no fan of articulating screens, though. Just one more thing to break. And, I don't see how an articulating screen can be made very dust and moisture resistant.I'm not too worried about breaking the articulating screen.

The only camera I've had with an articulating screen was my first digital camera, a G-5. The three uses for which I found the screen valuable were shooting selfies, shooting at close to ground level, and shooting over crowds.
Would you believe that the spellchecker doesn't like the word "selfies"?

The 6D is a bit heavy for shooting selfies at arm's length. It would be useful for ground level shots. I shoot over crowds, anyway.
