I can only speak for me.  I had the original X-100, loved it.   Over the last few years I've owned or rented a Ricoh GRII, Fuji XF10 and Fuji X-70.  I kept the X70.

I like the X100 very much and am tempted with each new iteration but frankly the X-70 fits me better.  I personally like the wider lens, 18mm vs 35mm and the smaller size of the X-70.  I carried the X100 in a jacket pocket, the X-70 in my back jeans pocket.

The Ricoh is a wonderful camera, I was never comfortable with it.  Again, a personal thing.

I was expecting (hoping) Fuji to announce an X-80, they released the XF10 instead, I bought one immediately.  The controls are quite different to the X70 but it's small and quite inexpensive.  I became totally frustrated with it's inability to focus at all, much less quickly, that I returned it before I ever got used to it.

Evidently Fuji firmware upgrades have spoken somewhat to the XF10's AF issue, so??

I like the X70 very much and it gets used 75%+ of the time over my X-Pro2.  Also, the X70 has a bit of a cult following so if it doesn't fit you resale is a likely option.
