In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by checking specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1D and 6D MII.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1D using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Canon 6D MII will give you greater detail with its extra 22 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 1D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
