Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SL2 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Leica SL2 will give more detail as a result of its extra 33 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer SL2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
