A friend of mine is selling 7Dmkii like new, 10000 shutter actuations for less than 900$
I am using 5D and 750D, I am totally convinced about APS-C and selling my 5D plus full frame lenses, they ate too bulky.
Now would 7Dii offer any advantage over 750D that is more lightweight and has higher resolution ?
Is it worth the upgrade ?

The 7D II is not a lightweight camera in my book; you could just as well keep shooting the 5D, unless you'd want a more modern camera.
If you are seriously considering lightweight, think Fujifilm or MFT. Similar setups with Fujifilm are probably around 50% to 70% weight wise, while MFT is likely around 30% to 40%, of Canon FF.
IQ is good ....
Kind regards, Wim
Gear: Canon EOS R with 3 primes and 2 zooms, 4 EF-R adapters, Canon EOS 5 (analog), 9 Canon EF primes, a lone Canon EF zoom, 2 extenders, 2 converters, tubes; Olympus OM-D 1 Mk II & Pen F with 12 primes, 6 zooms, and 3 Metabones EF-MFT adapters ....
Do you still keep the fantastic C 17-55/2.8 and C11-.18?
If yes then buy 7d II. it is good choice and lightweight setup

Better AF and it'll be in less pieces when/if it falls from a height.

I'd say go for it. My APS-C aspirations are less (80D), but 7D II is presumably beefier in most regards (except the flippy screen missing, so I heard).

Things got complicated, there's an 80D at a juicy price also 😞 negotiating with both
