XT20 with more glass VS XT2 with kit

After posting my previous thread on keeping my m43 vs moving to fuji, I have decided to sell off my m43 system and invest in fuji. But now I'm having a huge dilemma between the X-T2 and the X-T20. I am able to get a secondhand X-T2+18-55 combo for about USD$1550. I would also be able to get a secondhand X-T20 body for about USD$800 which, for the same price that I spend on the X-T2 option, can get me the 18-55mm+35 f2, or even the red badge 16-55mm f2.8.

I don't shoot professionally, I'm just a student doing this as a hobby and mainly shoot street and landscapes. I travel quite often, which is why the weather sealing on the X-T2 attracts me. But then again, there aren't exactly a lot of WR lenses. The lockable knobs are also a huge plus as I've heard the knobs are quite easy to accidentally turn. On the other hand, the light weight set up of the X-T20 would be ideal when travelling, although I might throw on a grip, which might result it in weighing the same as the X-T2.

Which set up would you recommend? Are the features on the X-T2 justifiable enough to just have one lens? Or should I go with the X-T20 which has less bells and whistles, but allow me to spend more on glass?

Also, I have heard that due to the difference in the EVF size between the two, people wearing spectacles might have some problem seeing into the X-T20 EVF. Is this true? and is it a huge concern? I wear spectacles and the EVF is what I use most of the time.

Thanks in advance!
