Typically, it's difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the M200 and GF6.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M200 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon M200 will result in extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern M200 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
