Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6D using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D will give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively.
