If you have X100T and you care about stills and not video, you will not get much by moving to X100V

The V is a huge upgrade to the T in every way....He is just Cheap

Depends if the upgrades are of interest to this person or if the various changes in the new camera make it easier or more difficult to operate.  In my case,  I upgraded to the “T” for a day and returned it.  Later I upgraded to the “F” but after a few weeks sold it.  So I am still using the “S”.

Upgrades that make things more complicated or get in the way of shooting are something I see no reason to deal with. And you get to learn over time how to work around issues with whatever you have.  Yes a flip up screen would be very nice along with weather sealing but I get by.  The new lens is supposed to be great but the old one is pretty good (and I never feel a need to focus close up with the lens wide open). And saving $1,000+ on buying the latest version is more than enough to pay for an unrelated lens and camera I bought an hour ago.  And please note that some people are cheapskates because their economic situation gives them no option but they want to follow their passion.

I really do hope you enjoy the “U” because it has some great features but please don’t be disappointed if a few other people go in a different direction.
