Cheers everyone. Think I’ll get the bundle with 18-55mm & a 35mm f2 and assess after that where to go next. I am still leaning towards the WRF2 bundle, but as others have said I could always sell the kit later on and help finance another F2 lens.

That sounds like the right idea to me too.  I've had the 18-55 the longest of all my Fuji lenses, and even though I don't use it all that often, it does come in very handy for certain things.  I would not sell it.  The incremental price of the 18-55 when buying it with a body makes it a really good deal.

There is no rule that says you have to carry all of your lenses or bodies with you at all times, but it is nice to have some variety available if you can manage it.

With those 2 lenses you could think about the XF14 as a wider-angle next, if you like that sort of thing.  For longer, the 55-200 is a versatile choice.

All of the little F2 primes will handle great on the X-T20.

My own thoughts on the 56 and the 90 are that they are probably great lenses (I have not tried either one) but unless you are shooting them wide open for portraits a lot, I think they are too heavy for what would be an otherwise lightweight kit.
