All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A7c because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A7c will give you more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern A7c should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
