In my experience, the 1DXII has two strengths over the R5 (and thus, I assume, the R6): (1) almost instant on, so it doesn't have to wake up. I have to keep reminding the R5 to stay awake if action is expected; and (2) ability to focus quickly on low contrast, softer targets. The R5 can refuse to focus for a while. But when it finally decides to focus, the R5 AF is much more accurate than the 1DXII.
My R3 made my 1DXII surplus, but otherwise I would still be using it (with my R5).
There are disadvantages: weight, size, noise, and so on, as you know. But in hand the 1DXII feels bulletproof, and there is a certain silly thrill to shooting sports at 14fps.
