So is it important? What is the goal? Are we trying to get Fuji to drop x-trans? Or is this just an academic pursuit?

I would argue it is largely a academic pursuit. I didn't buy my X-T20 because it has an X-Trans sensor. I bought it because of size, weight, controls, user interface, features, the quality of the kit lens and value. If anything, considering all the hullabaloo over processing RAFs in Lightroom, the X-Trans sensor may have been a net negative in my case. Who wants that drama

On the whole, I would personally describe the X-Trans vs Bayer debate as far removed from factors that are relevant to the decision of which camera to buy. It's about as big a nothing burger as the whole Lightroom kerfuffle. X-Trans or Bayer, Lightroom or the field...none of these is stopping anyone from making an excellent photo. Yes, there are a few folks who will give these issues significant weight in their buying decision. Fortunately, most folks know better.

Again, just one photographer's opinion.

Right on. X-trans had nothing to do with my purchase decision.
