Typically, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the K-1 II and M1.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K-1 II featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Pentax K-1 II will provide extra detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher K-1 II will have a benefit in sensor tech.
