All in all, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D MII having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 6D MII will show more detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern 6D MII provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
