The X1D having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X1D will show more detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older X1D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
