As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6D because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 6D will produce more detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern 6D provides an advantage in sensor technology.
