Very useful thread, as I recently got a 7D mark II
I also have a 5D mark III along with 300mm 2.8L IS
I sold the 5DII and 5Dc to fund for the 7D II and I wanted to test one first, as I would like to play with somethinb before jumping in and buying it,but could not get the opportunity to play with one...
I was undecided between 6D and 7DII. I knew that 6D had a cleaner look/image, but the 7DII would be a better AF camera, sealed and not to mention the extra reach with the 300...
I got the 7DII and am somewhat disappointed. Initially, before buying it, I thought my only complain would be ISO, but strangely, I encountered some AF issues as well..
Long story short, after having it for a few days, it seems that sometimes it's just not there, not as sharp as it should be (not necessarily as I'd wanted to be, but as it should be).
It's such a bummer because overall it's such a fantastic camera, let down by some small flaws and that sensor...
Why did they not put a new APS-H sensor in it? it would have rocked....
I've done a test in a coffee shop the 6D vs. 7D II (with the 300mm 2.8L IS), shot at the same settings on manual (same shutter speed, same aperture, same ISO ,same wb (K) 6600)

7dII: https://www.flickr.com/photos/157075287@N08/38247155111/in/dateposted-public/
both compared, I use Irfanview, the image on the left is 7DII and the one to the right is 6D, but I've zoomed into the 6D image,so that the field of view is the same, to compare colors & noise... (not very scientifically)
Perhaps what I should have done is crop the 6D image to match the field of view of the 7D II and compare them 100% and see what's what (i still have the raws).
the images are jpeg exported from raw , nothing was touched except 40 sharpness , radius 2.0, detail 80 and masking 75 for each
