I love my D5600. I also have the 18-140 lens along with the 70-300. The camera is light, responsive and takes great pictures. I went to a store to handle several bodies before I decided. The 5600 fit my hand really well. The weight was a big factor too, with the 18-140 lens it does 90% of what I need.
With the swivel touch screen and 24mp sensor, it's what I wanted. Good luck with your search.

If you plan on shooting manuel in the future go with a refurd D7200 the duel wheels make it a joy. It's a great body.
I think your on the right track with the D5600. Half the price and weight of the D7xxs and, IMHO, a much better operation system compared to the randomly located unlighted buttons of the D7xxxs before the D7500.
You operate the D5xxxs using the info screen on the LCD. ( Many owners don’t know that and mistakenly try to use menus). The D5500 and 5600 made that elegant system better with a touch screen.
There are many uses for the fully articulated screen.
Snapbridge in the D5600 makes it a better choice than the D5500.
Plenty of refurbs available. I mostly buy Nikon refurbs because IMHO they are better than new. My D5600 is a refurb and came with 6 shutter activations. Get through Cameta for one year warranty extension.

I recommend sticking with your A6000 until you are can justify an intermediate level DSLR such as the Nikon D7200 or Canon 80D. Entry level DSLRs are missing important features such as focus fine tune.
Consider buying used. The price of a used or refurbished D7200 is close to the price of a new D5600, but the D7200 is a *much* better camera. You might even find a used or refurbished D7100 for even more savings.

D5600 takes same images as D7200 and has much better features such as fully articulated touch screen, touchscreen control vs. random unlighed buttons and unreadable green screen, and Snapbridge. Plus it weighs and (refurbished) costs about one half.

Greeting from Boca Raton: br br I am considering ... (show quote)
I went through the exact same thing. From my D3300 to Sony A6000 to D5600. Was not happy with the feel of the A6000, went with the D5600 with a battery grip and love the camera. The learning process won't. be bad for you it's. quite similar to the D3300, just a few extra things. I am sure you will love the D5600 about the same size and weight as the D3300. Good luck in your choice............Mike

Things like focus and ergonomics are important to me, and I would guess to others.
