More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The visual here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and D7200.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon D7200 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older 6D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
