Is it being a "bit weathered" impacting your ability to produce good works with it. I suspect the answer is definitely NOT.
The diff's we are seeing between iterations of cameras is really pretty incremental in the grand scheme of things. I'd re-think your thoughts on the value of a "weathered" camera.
I shot the SLR/C upwards of being 10 years old ... and still produced good works with it. Why, because it's a camera that produces excellent images (just a one trick pony @ base ISO) for me. I went to have a headshot done a couple years ago, and my photographer was still using a 5D2, and knocked out excellent works hand over fist with all his clients.
Marketing would suggest we need to have the latest and greatest, and that OMG if we don't have 1/1,000,000,000 of a % more DR, we'll miss that shot of a lifetime 100 times a day.
We get fond of an "old truck", but an old camera ... OMG, that'll never work.
That said, what's lacking in your 6D that you need to be "not weathered"?
Imo, the 5D4 is really the "sweet spot" for a versatile workhorse ... but, really if that's your "one camera" setup. With a 5DsR in your pocket for your "special" stuff, that puts your other camera (6D, 5D4, 6D II) @ routine stuff.
For "routine" stuff ... 6D =
I think you'll be fine with 6D, 5D4 or 6D II ... but, I'm with the others @ keep shooting your 6D and let the GAS pass, while enjoying your "weathered" 6D @ "old reliable".
BTW, I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if they put an articulating display in the 6D II.
