Generally, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm T400 and SL.

As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm T400 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Leica SL will offer greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The older Fujifilm T400 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
