Bill, if you get into video, there is a 3rd party moire filter that can easily be added to the 6D, from all accounts it works great; see the link below.

With no FF body as of yet I've struggled with your dilemma. My only subject difference is I shoot action a good bit; surfing and motor sports, and it was the last 5D3 firmware update that made any decision even more difficult. So, I've decided to wait out 2014 before moving to FF, just to see what Canon comes out with in September, then I'll get a 6D/24-105 kit, hoping prices will drop.
To feed my action needs, specifically AF at f8, I grabbed an older 1DMk2N and it does the job wonderfully. There are other options out there and after balancing want vs. need, cost as well, the 6D wins out for many...hobbyist.
There is only about a $1200 difference between the 6D and 5D3, but actually there is a bigger gap when you consider GPS and WiFi are free with the 6D vs. the add-ons the 5D3 requires, they cost around $1200; GPS-$490, WiFi/file transfer-$850.
And for my style of shooting action; born from my film days, 5 vs. 6 FPS isn't a huge problem, nor are the dual card slots...no doubt the 5D3 has a big AF edge for many and yes there's that bigger/badder envy issue.
Keep us posted on your use of the 6D, post some images, let others know how it works out!
Cheers,
Jerry
