In theory, but often not in practice. Since a higher megapixel count will show up lens flaws more easily, you will often find that fine detail is actually lost on a per-pixel level. Less applicable to FF to be honest, but a valid point none-the-less.

That AF system was basically designed for a 1.6x crop body, so to see it appear in a FF body reeks of a desire to get this camera onto the shelves as soon as possible.
The 6D was a game-changer; the 6DII seems like an afterthought, or a response to competing manufacturers producing increasingly better cameras.
