I'm not sure it's a huge advantage but if you like doing nighttime landscapes with milky way type starry skies the 5D3 is a pretty nice upgrade over the 5D2 for it's noise levels.
Really?
I'd actually think the 6D is better if you're after higher-ISO (possibly longer low-iso) exposures, or slightly better DR.
The main thing is going to be amp glow for long, dark exposures. The 5D2 is superb on this front (very little glow). I don't know about the 5D3/6D.
Personally, if landscape was all I was doing, I'd hold out for something else. There will not be much, if any noticeable difference going 5D2 --> 5d3/6D for normal, low-ISO shots. I'd wait for a better sensor upgrade, or look at using a Sony A7r w/ adaptor (landscapes don't move), or something with better DR and/or higher resolution.
The 5D2 still produces Nat Geo landscape images, large gallery prints, and other (literally) award winning photography in the landscape category. No editor or gallery curator will notice a jump to 5D3 for such images displayed on screen or printed at any size.
Save your money. Focus on something else, like: saving for an upgrade down the line, buying a lens you're missing, taking a trip to a place you'd like to shoot... taking someone out to dinner.
