Sorry, click bait headline. Yes, the camera is worth it in general but...

Seems to be the EVF/OVF is the defining feature.

Add a very good design, very good lens, leaf silent shutter, etc.

If you find you like EVF better, is there any reason to get an X100V as opposed to one of the other Fuji X bodies and lenses?

Comparing to other Fuji cameras that have the VF on the corner, it is smaller than XPRO and 23 f/2, and it is better than XE3.

I like the camera but I am a fan of the film sims, and the OVF is a fun, different experience but I also like a EVF, especially if I’m shooting a film simulation, I like seeing how the shot will roughly come out vs just the OVF view. So if I’m just going to put it in EVF mode all the time, is the X100V the best option?

Yes, no, maybe, only you can decide. Of course, if you plan on adding lenses, the X100V is a complement, not a main camera.
