I've got both as well, and like you I'm happy with them as walk-around lenses. Do I wish they were a stop faster? sure! I'd also like to have a million cash, if you've got it lying around.

At any rate, they're sharp enough I don't regret using them on my X-T20, and anything much better would be wasted on the X-M1 (also under-appreciated, IMO).

Yes they are both terrific walk-around lenses  and I have two XT1 bodies so I have one XC for each when I walk around which takes care of 95% of what I need when on the street. For a more specific shooting activity, then I'll use one of my wider  lenses or take out the 100-400.
