Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 6D with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon 6D will give you more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger 6D provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
