As you have seen, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 600D having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A7c will resolve extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older 600D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
