Oh, stop - you're just making excuses. You can keep the 6500 going for as long as you want and probably at little to no cost.
The big picture difference is $150 or so - you have jackets that were more expensive and they were on sale. But, let's say you were to move to R7000 - when would you realistically do so? This week? As a Christmas present to yourself? Next Spring? Whatever that timeframe is, is it worth $150 to have power between now and then? Personally, unless I had firm plans to swap groups before the end of the summer, I wouldn't waste the season thinking about it - I'd get the pedals and take the picket fence out of my ass.
