Oftentimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading a spec sheet. The image below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the ST93 and Quattro.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ST93 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged ST93 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
