Oftentimes, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by going through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D and SD15.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 6D due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon 6D will show extra detail due to its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern 6D provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
