Fuji XT2 or Stick with Nikon

What would be your motivation in changing systems vs upgrading your Nikon body?  What to you expect the X-T2 to bring to the table that you would miss with the Nikon system?

I think it is worth renting the X-T2 and trying it for a week when you can do some extensive testing.   That's what I did. I rented the X-T2 and the X-Pro2 when we went on vacation.  I brought along my Canon 5D2.

I was looking for a smaller camera for travel.  I found the X-T2 not much smaller than my ungripped 5D2. It was just before the release of the X-E3, so I rented the X-E2s for the weekend and decided the X-E3 was just what I needed. I pre-ordered it and it arrived 2 weeks before we left for London and Paris.  I love the Fuji!

I came from shooting with Leica rangefinders dating back to 1967 and Fujis just fee right.  If you started in the digital PASM age, you might like them or you might not.
