In many cases, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the X2D and M11.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The X2D featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Hasselblad X2D will give you extra detail due to its extra 40MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more modern X2D will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
