The Fujifilm X-M1 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will resolve more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-M1 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
