X-e3 AND an x100f?

I recently got the x-e3 and am loving it.

I was deciding between that and the x100f and chose the x-e3 for a number of reasons.

However I am now thinking of saving for a used x100f to have as well as I read so many good things about it when I was doing my research.

My question is, in the real world, how much different of a shooting experience is it to the x-e3?

Especially as I only have one prime that lives on it 80% of the time.

I wouldn't use the ovf and the leaf shutter isn't important for me really, so in reality is it worth having both cameras? Or given that they share the same sensor and similar layout, is the shooting experience very similar?

Here was my take in an earlier thread on the X-E3 + 27mm versus X100F. I have both.

"I have the the XE-3 with the 27mm, and also the X100F. I would not note any difference in image quality, other than the difference in FOV and speed which is an obvious point. I do not often shoot wide open at f2 on the X100F, so that difference is usually irrelevant, and I actually prefer the 27mm FOV slightly. Further, the X-E3 / 27mm combo is smaller than the X100F, so that's a plus for travel. Since I almost always use the EVF on the X100F, one could argue that the X-E3 not only saves money, but results in one less complicated thing to break. I do worry a bit about dust in the X100F OVF, but I have decided not to peek in there with a magnifying lens to see, since it will only bug me if it is there, and it doesn't affect image quality.

On the other hand, the experience of using the X100F is an intangible that is hard to describe. Somehow the style, the feel in the hand, and just the overall experience is just more joyful for me, not because of capability, but because of how it feels. I am engineer old enough to remember when you could purchase a "cheap" scientific calculator from any number of vendors, or a HP model that was better built and designed in every way. That's pretty nerdy I know, but one lets you do the job, and the other makes you want to do the job. It's like that. Prior to the X100 series, the closest camera to that for me was the Nikon 35Ti, with its fantastic lens, analog dials, and quality feel. I carried it with me for years. At least to me, the X100 is the next step in that series - not the same lineage, but the same philosophy. The X-E3 gets this right as well, but for me the X100 gets it "more" right."
