The Orbi needs to be connected to the R6700.

If the Mobi needs to be connected to the R6700 then is there really any benefit to having the R6700, given that they would be in the same room? I'm assuming the router with the Mobi would have all the same functionality, right? Also, if that was the case, would it make more sense to get a model with two satellites?

It's up to you, You can keep the R6700 as the main router if it's been working well for you and use the ORBI as AP. Just disable the wifi on R6700 and configure the ORBI in AP mode. or use the ORBI as your main router. It's flexible.
