I just this week got an X-E2s(used) and coming from the X-E1 I find it better for manual focus. I can't speak for the original firmware(X-E2), but unlike my X-E1 I can choose focus peaking color between three different colors. I still magnify to double check, but being able to choose something besides white(X-E1) another color to make it easier.

How accurate do you find the focus peaking to be?

In wide shots or if the subject is a bit of a distance away(like bif with on a 210mm mf lens) it gets me close enough, but closer up subjects I generally use magnification to get the shot.
