Buy a X-T10 and keep the X-A1.
I already have X-T10 and X-A2. I sold X-A1, I probably should have kept it.
The X-T10 offers an EVF
I rarely use EVF, I don't like that thing pressed against my face, I don't like looking through a keyhole, I usually prefer lower shooting point. It also much easier to control camera shake shooting from lower position.
In direct sunlight you might see nothing at the X-As tilt screen but you will see the image in the EVF.
and silent mode that your X-A1 lacks.
Why would I care about silent mode? I'm not some pervert who likes surreptitiously shooting people on the street. The only time I use ES is when I need shorter shutter times.
It has nothing to do with perverted things. It depends on the situation. I shot some images at the last Xmas family event with silent shutter. It does not disturb as the loud X-A1 shutter. If you shoot in CL or CH mode the camera sounds like a typewriter mashine gun. The electronic shutter silences this too.
Colors and detail are different but both create good images.
Depends on your definition of 'good'. Once you shoot with both cameras you can't help but notice how much better colors and color definition are coming from the bayer sensor. Fuji shot themselves in the foot with x-trans.
True.
...and you can bring 2 cameras with 2 lenses attached when shooting.
Why would I want to carry two cameras? I'm not shooting for money, I do it for my enjoyment. I definitely don't want such inconveniences. I might have an extra lens in a pocket, but most often I shoot with the lens I've chosen for the occasion.
It all depends on your shooting style. If you have a slow workflow where you have the time to swap lenses then you don't need 2 cameras. If you shot moving subjects then you might like that approach. Bring a zoom on one and a prime on another camera. Go big with one and small with the other. It depends on your needs.
