If all you're offering are images to your clients, there's another vendor walking in right behind you offering monthly video and photo packages for web and social media.
Clients want one company that does it all, not just Joe the photographer that comes by every now and then.
Thinking beyond photos, we'll realize the 6DII isn't a versatile enough tool to service a broad range of clients.
My clients pay me 1000 - 2000 bucks a day shooting stills. None of them did ever pay me a single Euro for shooting video, nor asked for it. If they do, my first question would be, if they want 4K. Nobody who is not in pro Film production really needs it. Most clients can not handle it up to date. But If they want 4k and pay me 1-2k a day I would rent a 5D IV for 75 Euro a day immediatelly. If they would ask for it 15-20 times a year, I might purchase one.

Since you're a stills person, you're not understanding how video works. You can deliver 4K downsampled video, cropped video, without losing quality. Similar to shooting in crop mode for stills, 4K allows more flexibility to crop/punch in to create different camera angle or effect. Don't think in terms of a client needing 4K, think in terms of the professional that's editing the video to be more creative with their work. Also, video shoots can pay just as much as the most expensive commercial stills shoot and more. Canon's 4K files and extreme crop are a pain to work with, making the 5DIV not a good option. We were hoping Canon would be more forgiving with the 6DII.
