Hi Guys, Im new to this forum.

Welcome, but you are in the wrong forum. X camera forum is one below this one.

Now which of these two excellent cameras will make me a better photographer is the question I ask.

Neither will. Gear does not make the photographer. It is the photographer that makes the gear.

Since Im just starting out, my opinion is the Fuji will make me work harder, encouraging me to shoot more in manual mode and will teach me more about composing and framing than the OMD. The OMD on the other hand will make me shoot more since its zippy and highly customizable. Plus i only plan to get one prime lens to begin with ( the 35mm f1.4 for the Fuji or the pana-leica 25mm f1.4 for the Oly) My Heart is set on the X-E1 but my mind tells me to go for the OMD. Please help!

None of the above is true.
