Generally, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The pic here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 70D and K-3 II.

Plainly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Pentax K-3 II to provide you with more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged 70D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
