Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The visual below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D and K10D.

All in all, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 6D featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The fresher 6D will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
