It's not ideal, but I find it usable (and this is for presentation on the web, not at a big conference with a tech budget). I agree - it's better than nothing. It's actually fine for the film equivalent of "record shots" (remeber that phrase?).
Yes. I still use that (also "notebook shot").
The auto focus it the biggest killer for anything other than either "talking head to camera" or "group wide shot".
Yes, I agree. And the two places I use it are exactly those two :-).
But I still might upgrade the SLR.
There's "clearly big benefits", "probably real benefits", and "I definitely want". Any one of those is a decent reason (the last only if it can come out of recreational budget!).
6D or 5D Mk II?
That, I can't help with; I've used a 5Dii a tiny amount, a 6D not at all; and never for video (since I'm personally on the Nikon side of the force; given the long-lens trademark colors I guess that's the dark side? :-) ).
