As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 600D having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will offer extra detail having an extra 43 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older 600D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
