All in all, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M Edition 60 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Leica M Edition 60 will give you more detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern M Edition 60 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
