X-T1 Upgrade Advice: XT-4 or X-H1 with 16-55

Been meaning to upgrade my X-T1 and get a 24-70 equivalent zoom for my event work. The x-t1 pretty beat up (e.g screen doesnt work) and my 35mm f2 is often not wide enough for group shots, not that versatile when doing events.

Looking for better af, better handling (grip is rather shallow on the t1), a bump in resolution, some decent video chops, a workhorse generally.

Now, the t4 body is coming out at $1700, the xh1 with 16-55 is around the same price.

The shiny new xt4 is tempting with all the advances in af and all. The flippy screen, having used a gh5 I dont care much for it. I have no issue with xt1 implementation save the fact that it doesnt do vertical tilt.

To go for the latest and greatest now, or to go for decent body and some glass?

What do you guys think?

Almost same situation here.  I have XT-1's (all in good shape though) and a bunch of lenses so my needs/wants are a little different.  However the IBIS is appealing.

I am leaning towards the XT4 because 1) unable to find new XH1's (used w/grip are selling at about $800, 2) I'm leery of the 1st generation IBIS (new territory for Fuji),  3) I don't care for the top digital read out and 4) while I readily buy used lenses, I prefer new for bodies.

Admittedly the XT4 flip out screen I don't care for and yes, $800 for used XH1 with grip and batteries is a good price but overall, still leaning towards the XT4.
