As you have seen, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The T8i using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon T8i will result in more detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern T8i will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
