As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The V-Lux 2 with its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Leica V-Lux 2 will give you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 2 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
