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

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

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?

One good reason to prefer the X100V is you can’t replace the lens.  If you buy any other Fuji camera, you will soon have 3-5 lenses and wish for more.  Trust me, I know.  There are the two conversion lenses, but still, your camera bag will thank you.
