All in all, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M11 having a larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Leica M11 will offer you more detail using its extra 36MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The younger M11 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
