Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The picture below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TL and A6600.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony A6600 to show extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged TL will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
