As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The X1D II 50C due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D II 50C will produce extra detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer X1D II 50C provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
