Often, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The graphic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-100 and Fujifilm S9400W.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-100 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm S9400W will render extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
