Oftentimes, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1X and TX10.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M1X having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M1X will produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent E-M1X should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
