Hello everyone! I’m finally changing systems. Spec wise they seem to be very identical. I can’t decide which one to get?

Has anyone ever had or tried both and can share their experiences with handling and preference?

Coming from a Nikon DSRL, would I notice too much difference in the X-E2 rangefinder format? It’s smaller than the X-T1 but if I put a grip it’d get to the same size and weight as the X-T1, right?
How is ergonomics in both models?

Also, is the AF equal in both models? What about WiFi?

Thanks!

By the way, it’s mostly street/travel photography and ocasional family/kids pics. I’m getting either a 27mm with the X-E2 or a 35mm with the X-T1. I already have a vintage 50mm 1.2 I intend to use.

The biggest differences between the two would be- better EVF in the XT1, the tilting LCD screen and the ability to customize more buttons on it. I think the XT1 is worth a few more dollars over the XE2, but if those things aren't important, get the XE2 since they're both good cameras and good buys.  And I would consider the 27mm for the XT1 as well.
