The R7 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Canon R7 will give extra detail utilizing its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher R7 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
