More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through technical specs. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and E-PM2.

As you have seen, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M6 MII using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon M6 MII will result in extra detail with its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer M6 MII is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
