As you have seen, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A7R II with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A7R II will provide greater detail using its extra 32 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A7R II should have an edge in sensor innovation.
