Generally, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R-D1 and M Edition 60.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R-D1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Leica M Edition 60 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged R-D1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
