In many cases, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by checking technical specs. The photograph underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 80D and 6000.

As you have seen, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 80D using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 80D will give you more detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The fresher 80D should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
