This puts me in the market for the Nikon B700. My reasons are: EVF, 2x+ more reach, articulated LCD for use on my tripod, good feedback on build quality, not as big as the P900. More MP than my travel zooms will be useful, providing this does not make night videos worse than what I get now.

Yeah, the B700 looks like a nice camera. I vaguely recall that you had external limits on the type of video (720p?) due to the computer you are using. The problem is the modern 4K cameras might not put as much thought into the 720p support.

I briefly looked at the FZ300/FZ330, particularly as a weather sealed superzoom camera that could double as a secondary video camera. However, one of the takeaways is the 1080p videos were a lot softer, but the 4K videos were great. Since I'm currently not doing 4K video and my only video processing is uploading them to youtube, the FZ300 kind of lost its luster.

I had totally forgotten about the SP-100ee.

Yeah, there were only 1-2 posters in this forum sharing pictures about it.
