As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The X1D due to its larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Hasselblad X1D will give extra detail as a result of its extra 27MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern X1D is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
