Generally, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The pic here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D MII N and D2Hs.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 1D MII N having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 1D MII N will give you extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos more aggressively. The younger 1D MII N will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
