Quite often, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TL2 and E-M5 II.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TL2 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Leica TL2 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The younger TL2 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
