As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A6000 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Sony A6000 will resolve more detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer A6000 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
