Would you prefer the X pro1 to the XE1? How many of you would get the X pro 1 just because of the VF? or vice versa?

n1: much more responsive than the xp1;

with same lens and up to date firmware, no difference.

n2: bundled 18-55mm is by far and large the best X lens so far, competing with my M's on sharpness, and it costs 2x when bought separately;

Best if you prefer zooms. A non-starter if you prefer primes.

n3: diopter adjustment;

agreed, but a very small issue once you find the right diopter lens.

n4: better evf;

better in terms of resolution, but still really laggy - I'll take the OMD foe EVF shooting any time, which brings me back to the OVF.

n5: more balanced than xp1, and gets less warm too.

I've never experienced any irregular "warmth" from the X-Pro. The XE1 is a nice size though.

On lack of ofv: small price to pay for all the above benefits.

To you. To some, lack of OVF is a total deal breaker.
