on the verge of buying, just need some final moral support

I also strongly agree that you should get the 24-105 + 6D Kit. It's a great deal. You won't regret it, but you might regret later when you want the 24-105 for $200+ more price. And you will, trust me.

Yup.

I bought my 5D3 body only and was kicking myself in the head for passing up the 24-105 for an additional $500...

But luckily got a "redo" when a family member wanted a 5D3 body and already had the 24-105. So we "collaborated" to buy the kit, and family member took body and I the lens.

Pentax Full Frame will be a very long wait ... from what I read in that article, they've been talking about it since 2009

Yes, I see that! It's a shame Pentax doesn't have a FF body yet; heavier competition for a same market often mean better products and smaller price (though the oil market doesn't quite follow this logic). I would personally love to see a good quality, not to expensive Pentax FF body; since their camera current are backward compatible with lens from the film era, I can hope the same with a FF body.
