Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The photograph underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D-Lux 6 and S80.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The D-Lux 6 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon S80 will offer you greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The newer D-Lux 6 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
