Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by checking technical specs. The image here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M11 Monochrome and GM5.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M11 Monochrome with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Leica M11 Monochrome will give more detail having an extra 44 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer M11 Monochrome provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
