As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S120 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon S120 will offer you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern S120 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
