Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M6 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Leica M11 Monochrome will show more detail with its extra 36MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older M6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
