As you can see, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GR with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Ricoh GR will render extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern GR will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
