Oftentimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over specs. The visual here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D and M.

As you can plainly see, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D will offer you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer 6D will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
