Clearly, both of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M Edition 60 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Leica M Edition 60 will result in extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The newer M Edition 60 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
