Generally, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out specs. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 and M11 Monochrome.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact megapixels and you should expect comparable quality of images though you should always consider the production date of the cameras into account. The older M11 will be behind in sensor tech.
