Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M11 and GX850 is 76 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M11 and GX850.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M11 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica M11 will show more detail having its extra 44 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern M11 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
