GoPro advice needed

In terms of video and photo quality, the Hero6 Black is only a slight step down from the Hero7 Black. You can still record at 4K 2,160-pixel resolution clips at 60 frames per second, which can give fast action a smoother look. And if you're into slow-motion clips, you can record in 2.7K at 120fps and 1,080p at 240fps. The biggest difference in quality is the electronic image stabilization, which is good, but not as good as the Hero7's.

The Hero6 is currently $50 to $60 less than the Hero7, which is a nice bit of savings. While you do get some potentially useful extras like livestreaming, vertical video and motion time-lapse video in addition to the improved stabilization, it might be better for you to put the savings toward extra batteries.
