Perhaps. However, what about using DR200 or if necessary DR400 on the fuji to hold back the blown highlights. This is a very useful feature and one of my favorites since I was shooting many bracketed sets of raw with my Nikon to make HDR's whereas now in most cases I can shoot a RAW with the appropriate DR settings to harness excessive highlighting.

Regardless of the look that one prefers, the versatility for handling these conditions is greater for the fuji, plus is can shoot color (sorry I couldn't resist that last line).

Also, fuji glass although not in the same league as Leica, is reasonably close, closer than other mirrorless rivals. Some Zeiss is add a few options for use as well.
