Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The X2D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Hasselblad X2D will offer extra detail because of its extra 88 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger X2D provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
