The FH7 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony RX1R II will resolve greater detail with its extra 26 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older FH7 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
