Is there a big difference between 6.1 Mega Pixles and 7.1 Mega Pixles and how big of a difference is it or is it not that big to notice? Thanks

If pixels are all that matters, there would not be much difference in the images. If you have a couple of cameras in mind, though, it would be a very good idea to post the models here, because some sensors are great and some suck. I'd rather have 6 MP with a good sensor than 7 MP with a crappy one.

The real question might be "what's the price difference between the two cameras?"
What's the price difference? If it's 20 or 30 bucks, go for the 7.1. If it's 100 or 200 bucks, go for the 6.1, unless you expect to make a lot of enlargements.
The 7.1 will allow you better resolution, and that might make a difference if you wanted to get really large photos printed from your pictures, but if you're not going to make a lot of enlargements, it might not be an issue. If most of your photos will be printed from full frames, with nothing copped out, and you're not going to print huge pictures a lot of the time, the 6.1 might be adequate.

Not that much difference between them. I have a Nikon 70DS with 6.1 mega pixel. It has amazing resolution. I have printed 8x10 with it
and it is as good as the lab. I don't have to rush to the lab no more.
If you have a good idea how to take a good picture,know your light,
correct exposure,set your camera to large jpeg file and fine setting.
It is possible to get good pictures. If you want to post it on the web
chose the low resolution to have the page load up faster. Save the money you might have spend for 7.1 pixel
camera.

Both megapixel ratings will give great pics check the cameras for ease of use, recycle time between pics and other features I have seen some cameras whos companies have had an upgraded pixel sensor but they did not upgrade the picture processor making it run slow while keeping their cost lower

There is an 17 percent difference in data.
The only time you would notice that would be if you printed a large picture. Then the difference might be slightly noticeable. Either should be excellent for most purposes.

If you are a recreational photographer taking pictures on vacations and at family events, you probably won't notice the difference too much (unless you have a good eye).
