More often than not, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 and E-M5 II.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M6 having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon M6 will give more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher M6 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
