If the X Pro1 and XE1 are almost at the same price...

Without a doubt I would buy the XPro-1.

I use the EVF more then 50% of the time, but having the OVF there in case the lighting is too bright or dark, or if I need to quickly frame up and shoot something is wonderful.

Also, the slightly larger size feels much better in my hands.

If your looking for more of a point and shoot all rounder then the X-E1 may be a better choice simple for the fact that it has that pop-up flash.
