Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specs. The pic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the M and Fujifilm X-T20.

All in all, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Fujifilm X-T20 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged M will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
