The Fujifilm Z1000EXR having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Fujifilm Z1000EXR will give more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z1000EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
