To sum up, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The PEN-F using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern PEN-F provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
