Of course you won't notice the difference on the web or 4x6 print.
But .... remember way back when *all* our films had more resolving power
than any of our lenses yet we sought finer-grained films. Why? Because
they directly affect the result.
To revisit an old analogy, it's like listening to brass on CD v LP. It's
harsh on CD and clear on an old LP.
The timbre, the nuances, are all clarified with greater detail. The CD
satisfies most people.
Same goes for a denser sensor. Better edge clarity, richer colors ...
everything improves.
Now, it may be at 92% - 95% top of the curve that makes no diff to the
amateur.
It's more likely that it will make no difference to the professional,
but amateurs will debate it into the ground on various websites.
Better specifications are all well and good, but if it doesn't translate
into a meaningful quality increase, it's just numbers on paper.
