As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 160 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 160 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent 160 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
