I'd go with the 6D over the 5D2, due to the AF that you mention.
Remember, you're probably comparing newer full-frame cameras to your old 7D, which is three or four generations old. Moore's Law also applies to sensors and processors. The 7D MkII has a brand new sensor and two Digic -Six processors.
I assume you're shooting Raw, but, if not, you need to be. You'll have great control of shadows, contrast, color balance, etc. Those that use in-camera JPEG are using setting decided on by a committee of Japanese engineers. Why would you do that? Plus, properly exposed Raw images will yield another f-stop of dynamic range.
I own both a full-frame and a 7D and have the 7D MkII preordered. I'm looking forward to the new camera's detail resolution and improved dynamic range over the 7D.
