Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at specs. The pic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 and TL.

All in all, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M11 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Leica M11 will resolve extra detail with its extra 44MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer M11 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
