The 6400 is quite a camera, with very desirable characteristics. I can see why you would want to get one now.
I am assuming that Sony is holding the successor to the 6500 because it really is a mini a9--and more probably a mini a9II--and they want the a9II to be out before the mini a9II. This is all speculative, of course, but Sony has described the next iteration of their upcoming models as revolutionary and going beyond expectations.
To me, that suggests a global electronic shutter or at least a very fast electronic shutter, beyond the 1/150 second on the current a9. It might also mean enhanced image quality on both aps-c and full frame sensors. I'm not sure I see them pushing resolution much on either model, but who knows.
It should be an interesting Fall.
I hope that Sony will have the A9II and the A7000/Mini A9/Mini A9II on display at PhotoPlus in NYC October 24-26, I to intend to attend on October 24.

I am surprised by all the blather in this thread. The OP asked a simple question and very few if any have answered it. I am not staying I am answering it but at least I am addressing his question.
For starters full frame sensors capture more information, have more ability to crop, better Dynamic Range, better low light and higher ISO performance. Those are some pretty compelling advantages in my book.
That said, full frame camera systems offer several distinct advantages over APS-C sensors. For starters, you’ll have more control over the depth of field because you’ll need to move in closer to your subject. This could be important for portraits or if you want to create other aesthetic effects.
A full frame camera/lens combination also delivers better image quality. The reason is the pixel pitch: a larger sensor with the same number of pixels means each individual pixel is larger; this allows more light to be captured. Hence, full frame systems also perform better when the light is weak, enabling you to confidently raise your ISO settings. For night photography, full frame sensors win hands down over APS-C sensors.
Full frame systems also produce more finer details because the pixels are larger, creating a better dynamic range than an APS-C sensor would with the same number of pixels. Because of a full frame sensor’s larger size and the larger field of view it projects, a full frame lens/camera combination is also more suitable for wide-angle shots, which is relevant for architectural, landscape or product photography.
A full frame camera and lens is the best choice for wide-angle landscape images.
