1.6 crop IQ tests don't look as sharp compared to full frame, why?

We have a 6D and a 700D between which we often switch lenses, I’d say sharpness isn’t an issue. But lots of other things are when cropping, in particular noise.

As soon as the lights less than perfect, there will be more grain and noise, and then the 700D just looks less sharp. In good light theres nothing in it, but as soon as theres a bit of cloud the 6D wins.

The extender just makes matters worse.
