Normally, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching technical specs. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 II and X2D.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R6 II because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Hasselblad X2D will provide you with more detail having its extra 76MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively.
