As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6D MII because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D MII will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 16MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger 6D MII provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
