As you have seen, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 6D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon T7i will resolve extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older 6D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
