You mentioned the 5D3 which is going for around $2K gray market. If that is an option pricewise, then you ought to also consider the Nikon D750.
In the US, it is running just under $2K.
This gives you the lowest noise. Very good ISO performance. A little more resolution than the Canon choices. And dual card slots (since you mentioned it as a desirable trait of the D610). It's the best sensor in a DSLR currently.
It also falls in line with your concern about not purchasing previous generation equipment. While the 6D is current, it is nearing the end of the road. D750 is new.
Currently, nothing from Canon is going to give you a wide angle zoom as sharp or as good as Nikon's with 2.8.
I would have recommended the Canon14mm 2.8 L, but it costs as much or more than Nikon's zoom. That is unfortunate.
You should have put "astro" in your thread title. There are some Exmor sensor fanatics that visit here that would surely chime in and explain the advantages of this sensor (what is in the Nikon FF cameras) for night, astro and landscape photography.
Based on what you've said in your post - you are an ideal candidate for getting into the Nikon system.

I would read up on this guy:

You may find you can do both sports and astrophotography with the 7DII - but will need to study up on the techniques this guy uses for processing to get the best out of the camera.

If you have a foreground subject then do you shoot two images and composite? An aperture of f/2.8 might not give enough depth of field depending on the distance to the foreground subject and the focal length.dilbert said:

I would not say that the 6D has poor AF. The AF may not be as good as other models, but that does not mean that it is bad AF. You want to avoid that way of thinking when looking at alternatives.
Good luck with your decision.
Honestly, I don't see how you can go wrong with either the Canon or the Nikon. Both make good bodies and good lenses. Go with the system you personally prefer and never take pictures of grass on the other sides of fences. The color never comes out accurate. ;D

I think in Astrophotography, F4 is consider fast... if you want to avoid star trail, a better option is to use a tracking mount. The disadvantage will be if your image contain terrestrial object, it'll not be that sharp, but will not be as obvious as star trail.
Have a nice day.
