As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The X2D because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Hasselblad X2D will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 76 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern X2D will have an edge in sensor innovation.
