The R10 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Leica SL2 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 23 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent R10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
