In many cases, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing specs. The graphic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the X1D and T Type 701.

All in all, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X1D having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Hasselblad X1D will offer more detail using its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent X1D provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
