Anybody go from X100s to X100T??

Just wondering if anybody has some insight for me.  Even though I have my two X-T2s and lenses for the majority of my shooting, I recently dusted off my X100s and started using it for a project I have been doing around home for the last 12 months.  I am shooting the local Aboriginal or Indigenous folk who are the Desert Aboriginal here in WA.  I have found the fill in flash in bright sunlight a bit frustrating with the X-T2.  Putting on the ND filter and taking it off.  Then trying to work out the flash ratios etc, is spoiling the fun of what I am doing.  I get more duds than good ones to use!  I only have a manual Yongnuo flash for the hot shoe.  I had put my X100s in moth-balls (not literally), because I shoot now 80 odd percent of all my shots at waist level on my flippy screens on the T2's. I just hate putting the camera up to my eye now for so many reasons (I'm writing a full blog about it at the moment).

In frustration with the outdoor flash I dusted off the X100s.  Man I had forgotten how marvellous that little thing takes fill flash in bright sunlight - magic stuff.  That leaveshutter/builtinNDfilter is out of this world - from another planet.  I will put up with the no flippy screen just to get those beautiful, perfect fill flashes.

If the X100f had a flippy screen it would be a no-brainer - I would just buy one.  However, I am hoping the next one will have the flippy screen, so I am waiting with anticipation.  As a not-so-expensive interim measure, I was wondering if the X100t is a big step up from the X100s??  The T is still around $1,300 on 'fleabay' here in Australia - but a darn sight better than the $1,900 here for the wretched X100f.  My question - can somebody tell me the difference from S to the T.  I am wanting a better LCD and OVF - also faster focus would be a plus.  Does that model take the same battery as the X100s?  Thanks in advance.
