I would hold both and test them in the hand if possible. I went from the X-E2 to the X-T10, and then back to the X-E3. For me, the X-E line is far more comfortable in the hand than the X-T10/20/30 line. Of course, you may find the opposite to be true. But this difference would be enough to make me choose the older X-E3 over the newer X-T30 (despite the better AF, sensor and video capabilities).

Same here, I think because they are slightly more rectangular combined with the EVF on the side getting out of the way, instead of the more square design with EVF in center. I also use a thumb grip which makes a good bit of difference.

But yeah, somebody else might like some other design.
