The Fujifilm SL300 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X-S10 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL300 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
