Should I upgrade from x-t10 to x-t2?

Hi!

I'm using X-T10 from September and made a few thousand photographs with it and with different lens. I do mostly landscape photography and found the best lens for me was Samyang 12mm. After X-T2 release I can't stop thinking about the upgrade to the ultimate beast. What I want the most from a new camera is better sharpness and more details that I think X-T10 just lacks. I use Lightroom CC and see a lot of "mushy leaves and grass" and apparently I am not happy with it. The most exiting features introduced by X-T2 are enhanced AF and 4k video and these features are absolutely nothing for landscape photography. Better IQ at higher ISO is great for astrophoto and I like it. What about the general image quality in more usual conditions in comparison to what I can squeeze from X-T10? I did not have a chance to test X-T1 which has the same sensor with X-T10, but had one day of X-Pro2 + XF16-55 testdrive and did not find any significant magic in DR and IQ. Tried to photograph mostly with ISO 3200 and DR400 and got plenty of useless shots with weird artifacts at objects' edges. Probably I got a bad XPro2 from a rent service, but I did not get even a single shot that I liked. Being totally disappointed I took X-Pro2+16-55 and made a few shots from my balcony and then did the same with X-T10 and 16-55 and got absolutely the same OOC Jpegs in details, but probably better in resolution which was not significantly obvious.

So the final question: should I upgrade to X-T2 from X-T10 or not? What features or enhancements can I get with the new gear for landscape or astro photography?
