How do you pick FP with an EVF or LCD without TS? Seems like one has to hope that the camera magically picks the right point, which at least for me often fails and is extremely annoying when you're trying to capture a special moment but can't.

with EVF the only option to manipulate FPs is through the use of joystick, TS has no use there at all

As I said -- completely useless, in particular because the NEX series has no joystick. You can't pick focus points efficiently using an EVF. Which is why touch LCD's are crucial.

...I'm not sure which model you have, but on N7 it is possible to move the spot around by UI, and still without any need to employ TS

On the 5R, the easiest way is to touch the spot with your finger, on the screen.
