I own the R and R6, and 100% agree with wockawocka's comments.
In good lighting, the R6's EVF performance beats the R. However, in low light, the R is considerably better.
The blackout is also annoying, but think this could easily be corrected by a firmware update, given it doesn't occur starting with shot #2 in burst mode (it still occurs with shot #1 in burst).
Other negatives of the R6 vs R would be the smaller rear LCD and the omission of the top LCD. However, I have found neither of these bothersome.
Now, all that said, I do love the R6 so far. I also love my R, but the R6 very much feels like a better camera. The AF, IBIS, ISO performance, framerate, control setup/ergonomics...all upgrades.
