Which Viewfinder do you prefer? OVF or EVF?

For those of you that HAVE used both the OVF & EVF in the X100/S or X-PRO1, will you please take a moment to vote?

PLEASE, do not vote if you have not used the OVF, or have not taken the time to properly learn how to use it.

I'm creating this poll because the X-PRO2 talk has picked up a little bit even though Fuji said they will not release an X-PRO1 replacement unless it’s a "major technological breakthrough." Personally I think that’s Fuji’s way of saying they have no plans to release an X-PRO2, especially since they just released the XT1, which IMO is the new flagship Fuji X camera. And at the moment, the EVF in the XT1 is possibly the best EVF in mirrorless cameras. And Fuji’s EVF technology will continue to improve with future releases.

So I’ve been wondering how many people actually prefer the OVF to an EVF. I assume the people that prefer the EVF outweigh those that prefer the OVF. This poll is so we can get an idea of how popular the OVF is.

Personally, I prefer the versatility of having both even though I primarily use the OVF. They both have their pros and cons.
