Normally, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M Typ 240 and W220.

As you can see, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M Typ 240 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Leica M Typ 240 will give more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher M Typ 240 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
