Quite often, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The picture underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the S6300 and Quattro.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S6300 having a tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will offer you greater detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged S6300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
