More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by viewing technical specs. The image underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 and A6300.

As you have seen, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M11 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Leica M11 will render greater detail due to its extra 36 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer M11 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
