More often than not, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by going over specs. The graphic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and R.

All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 77D due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon R will offer you extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 77D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
