Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by seeing specs. The picture here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the T Type 701 and Quattro.

All in all, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Sigma Quattro to show more detail with its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T Type 701 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
