Canon T6i Advantages:

• Cross-type AF Points – 19 vs 1. Cross-type AF Points are much more accurate and faster in low light.

• LCD Resolution – Higher resolution.

• JPEG Buffer Size – Unlimited vs 100. Useful for long bursts.

The T6i is a little bit older and offers no big advantages except for the AF system. It has less points, but all 19 are cross-type so you can expect faster and more accurate auto focus in low light.
