Often, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SL2 and TX10.
As you can see, each of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SL2 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Leica SL2 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 31MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer SL2 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
