More often than not, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 700D and SL2.

As you can tell, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon SL2 to give you extra detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 700D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
