Based on unbiased reviews, it would appear that if you already have some good glass that fits one or the other, then choose that one.

Both have pros and cons. I chose the D600 because it has a flip up flash, very useful at times and missing from the 6D. Also got a great deal on the kit with 24-85 VR lens for under 2k. So far, I'm delighted with the results. It took some study to learn how to use the camera and I'm still learning, but the images are great when I do my part. I doubt you can go wrong with either the D600 or 6D, get what you like! Bear in mind there are some strong opinions about this on UHH ;-)
Pop-Up flash is OK, but if I'm going to use a flash, I grab my speedlight.
Canon EOS 6D kit comes with EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens! :thumbup:

I think it's funny that one snapsort advantage the Canon has over the Nikon is the number of lenses available. Canon has 125, and Nikon has 121. Imagine going on vacation with over 100 lenses. The mount on the camera would be in need of regular replacement. :D

Jerry,
You're talking to a die-hard Canon guy here. I recently purchased a 24mm f3.5 tilt/shift lens because I like to shoot a lot of cityscapes and not have the buildings look like they're falling over on themselves. I keep my 24-70mm f2.8 on my Eos 7D most of the time and my 100mm Macro on my 5D MK II.
That said, I just got a package from BHPhotoVideo through UPS with a Sony RX-1/B and EVF viewfinder.
I'm tempted to sell off some of my other camera gear and I really haven't figured out how to work the camera yet. The manual SUCKS!!! I swear, Sony writes user manuals like they're going to be read by other computer engineers rather than photographers.
At any rate, the few shots I've taken with it convince me that the RX-1/B is a first rate camera despite the fact that it has a fixed 35mm f2.0 lens (but it's a Carl Zeiss Sonar T*).
i took the first shot from my living room window & then cropped it without any post processing. I was kind of amazed at the resoulution after the crop.
The quarter was shot using the macro setting on the lens and I pretty much Photshopped it to death with PSE 10.
Still learning I guess.
DSC-RX-1/B, f11.0, 1/160" Shutter, ISO @ 640
DSC-RX-1/B, f11.0, 1/160" Shutter, ISO @ 640 (Cropped)
DSC RX-1/B, f11.0, 1/640", ISO @ 640 in Macro

If you go to dpreview @ www.dpreview go under reviews and select the Canon 6D and the Nikon D600 review and you can do a side by side comparison. You can see the menus and setting and that will help you pre-shop and make your decision
http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/cameras
I would also mention that being able to hold both cameras in you hands to see which one fits better is a great suggestion.
If you have purchased lenses for a particular brand Canon or Nikon that may also govern you buy if you have lenses to fit one brand versus the other.
If you have used Canon and are familiar with the settings, menus and terminology that is a plus for Canon. If you have used a Nikon and are familiar with their terms and can use them that is a plus for Nikon.
Even if you have used any entry or mid level camera the jump to a higher priced body will give you more choices and customization choice to make your enjoy shooting, and make your photos better.
I will add that when you move from most any Canon camera to a 1D series of camera the menus and settings are much more in-depth and learning how to use the camera and adjusting those setting to your use require a little more time to learn
Good luck, and don't let the sales person make your choice for you in the store, some stores cater to a specific brand of camera lenses and bodies and tend not only to steer you to that brand because they have more of that brand in stock and in some instances might receive a PM, or Spiff < bonus paid to the sales person for selling a particular brand or item
