[cruncher75]

Hi i have the 5D mkii but looking at getting the 7D mkii lenses i have are 70-200 f2.8 is and 24-105 is it worth going to the 7D mkii im not fussed about FF

Depends what you shoot - bear in mind that your lenses would no longer be 70-200 or 24-105 due to crop factor.

Only use it for days out

What type of photography do you do, and would you need fast multi-point AF for it? If it's more landscape and portrait stuff you do then perhaps have a think about a mintish second-hand and low-shutter count Canon 6D Mk1. I think you'd probably notice an improvement in image quality from that in comparison to your 5D Mk 2, particularly in low light with higher ISO shots. At the price you can get a used, mint-ish 6D for these days (with a good guarantee from a well-established and reputable shop/dealership) I think it makes a new 7D II look expensive if you don't need the fast action AF facility. As usual, do some internet research and comparisons and then decide what's best for you. Hope this suggestion is useful.

Have been offered the 7D MKII for £625 under 2500 shutter count i had the 7D mki for a good couple of years

As Tom mentioned - don't skip over the fact that you will be getting a x1.6 crop factor applied to the focal lengths meaning your widest angle will be ~38mm equivalent. Depending on what you shoot on your days out that might be quite long for your widest angle.

I've had both, if you're not worried about low light high iso then it doesn't matter tbh...7d is a speed beast, and you can use ef-s lens which is a cheaper option....

I think the OP had already made his mind up before posting.

Not yet still thinking about it

I use a 24-105 on my 7D with no problems with the crop factor, but I dont do Landscapes so not really a problem for me.
