I'm trying to figure out your statement about having worse AF than the D750 (unless I'm reading it wrong). The D750 has 51 AF points, only the center 15 of those AF points are cross type. The 6DII have 47 AF points, and ALL of them are cross type. The D750 only has 5 AF points that will AF at minimum f/8 aperture, while the 6DII has 27. All things considered, the 6DII is going to have much more accurate peripheral AF points (I haven't yet found the EV rating for the peripheral points, but the center point is -3 EV). And if using live view, the dual pixel AF blows away anything Nikon has. All other aspects of your post I agree with. The D750 offers some things the 6DII doesn't (nothing that is really useful to me or would cause me to switch), and the 6DII offers some things the D750 doesn't.
Yeah, on paper the AF looks at least as good, but I've heard from people who've used the 80D and D7200 that the D7200 system is better - so if the 6DII system is the same as the 80D system, the D750 should have an advantage too. I've not tested it myself though, and I'm not entirely sure if the person who used both used just the centermost points or outer ones too - more stuff to look into and keep an eye out for.
EDIT: This DPReview page also says that the D7500 AF tracks better than the 80D AF, and the D7500 also uses Nikon's 51 point AF system.
