As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M6 MII having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon M6 MII will provide greater detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer M6 MII provides an advantage in sensor technology.
