Sell NX500 for Fuji X-T20? Keep NX1?

Hey guys. I've been really eyeing the Fujifilm X-T20 lately. Something about the Fuji cameras really appeal to me from my film days. It seems like a stellar camera for the price, and something that I think I'd prefer over the NX500. I have the NX1 with both the 16-50S and the 50-150S, plus a Samyang 12mm. I have the 16mm F2.4 and the 30mm F2 I've been using with the NX500 for street and travel photography. I'm not sure I could really get enough money for the NX1 kit for it to be worth it. I really wouldn't sell it unless I was certain I could sell everything, so I'm not stuck with any paperweights. I originally thought I'd interchange lenses between the 2 cameras, but the NX500 would be downright silly and unbalanced with either of the S lenses, and the NX1 is really too big of a camera to run around with the little primes. If I'm gonna pull that out, I might as well use the S lenses. I don't think I'd miss much selling the NX500 and the primes.

I think the best solution would be for me to sell the NX500 and its 2 pancakes, and keep the NX1 and its very expensive lenses for when I need the bigger, badder camera. I know there are some people here who have shot the new Fuji cameras. What do you think? The NX500 is a great camera, but the X-T20 just calls to my heart for some reason. Also, what's a good price to list the NX500, 2 pancake primes, and the 2 batteries for? I've seen lots of NX500s for sale, but always with kit lens or body only. I'm just thinking now might be the time to switch, at least for the smaller camera.
