Plainly, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-5 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus E-5 will provide greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern E-5 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
