As you have seen, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Nikon Z7 II to provide greater detail having its extra 28MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older M9-P will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
