As you can see, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 20Da having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Canon 5D MIV will produce more detail with its extra 22MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 20Da will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
