I thought I had read some rumors about this some time ago but it's been silent. I am in the market for a flash for my X-T1 and x100s and trying to determine if I just get the nissin i40 or wait a bit longer.

Some owners of the Nissin i40 flash have reported that the lettering does not wear well. Rubs off easily.
How are yours holding up?

The Nissin i40 is a very capable flash, small and has dials, which fits with Fuji's X-series cameras. Fuji's EF-42 is a hundred dollars cheaper and is a better deal if you don't want all the accessories the i40 comes with, nor care much for low flash output lower than 1/64th power.

On Fuji Rumours it has been said that the firmware upgrade coming this month will make the X-T1 feel like a new camera. I have been thinking that part of that could well be the introduction of one or more new flashguns, and a major upgrade to the TTL flash system.

There are limitations with the nissin i40 and this is clearly Fuji's fault because they did not fix this in a firmware update. With other camera makers, these limitations do not exist.
There is a workaround for the HSS but it makes it more difficult to use

Other than GN nothing I can see but specs are available for both.

Prior to purchasing my Nissin i40s, I contacted the company and they stated that they were aware of the problem that the first few production models had with that lettering problem, but they stated that that situation has been corrected. I have had my two i40s for quite a while now and I have not had any problems with the lettering coming off so fa.
I have an X-T1 with a myriad of lenses, but unfortunately I have had to purchase a Canon set up for the flash problem. Fuji promised years ago that they would be forthcoming with more professional flash options, but this has never materialized. Now that Profoto has introduced the TTL options with the B1 and B2, I have gone to Canon for all of my professional work.
It is too bad, I wish FUJI could have stepped up to the plate and gotten serious, but alas this one problem makes them an amateur product in my opinion.
Shot yesterday, all settings TTL HSS using a Canon 5d iii with a Profoto B2.
This shot is just one example of how advanced Canon has gotten with it's flash control. Fuji doesn't even bother trying.
