Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T6i and 1 J2.

As you can tell, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T6i with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon T6i will resolve more detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer T6i should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
