Typically, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by viewing specifications. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 and M8.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M6 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Canon M6 will provide you with extra detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern M6 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
