If you can wait for 7, then it probably makes sense to just get the latest and greatest.
But at $WORK we're moving into a new office in 2023, and given networking gear lead times, we have to order what's available now (6 and 6E) to make sure we get the stuff in time for move-in.
Even with 'only' 6(E), you still get OFDMA, which AFAICT really helps with spectrum efficiency in high-density environments. 6GHz with 6E is also a good thing.
