To sum up, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Quattro using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sigma Quattro will produce more detail with its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent Quattro will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
