Clearly, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M1X will provide greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent E-M1X should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
