The 6 is a stripped down semi-pro version of the 5dmkll. It's a smaller camera that when first introduced, Canon was billing it as a travel camera because of the file handling and small size and built-in wifi/gps. It also is theoretically able to focus in extremely low light.
The 70 by comparison is almost a consumer sports camera. It has a pbetter focus system and shots much faster. The 70 is closer to the 7dmkl for action than is the 6d.
What you shoot will dictate which to consider.
If you shoot only landscape, indoors and studio, then the 6 is a better choice. Don't plan on sports with it, as it has ONE cross-focus point like the 5dll.
The 70 is a much better all-around camera. Good luck. ;-)

The 6d is by no means a sport camera but to say "don't plan on sports with it" is selling it short. I purchased my 6d for my desire for landscapes but it has been used more for the sports my 3 sons participate in and has done a fair job of it. I think the OP would be quite happy with a 6d, especially for the type of shooting he does.
