Normally, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-PM2 and A6000.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-PM2 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Sony A6000 will result in extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-PM2 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
