Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX600 HS featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon SX600 HS will provide more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer SX600 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
