Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by researching technical specs. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and GH4.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M10 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Leica M10 will result in more detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent M10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
