Both seem very similar. In terms of explaining the previous line in the
meaning of "namely" or "in the sense of" right?

Statement blabla ... tsumari/sunawachi, blabla.

Any particular difference to choose between either?

question
grammar meaning word-choice words nuances
詰まり vs 即ち? Tsumari vs Sunawachi?
Both can mean "namely" or "that is to say", but すなわち is clearly more formal
and stiff. If an elementary school children used it in a casual conversation,
probably I can't help laughing. つまり is a more common word that can be used in
almost any situation.

You should usually write these in hiragana unless you intentionally want to
make a stilted and old-fashioned sentence.
