I would suggest renting the 50-140 and see how it behaves for you. I bought the 90, and sold it quickly. Focal length is not that useful, and for me, the 50-140 is a great workhorse. The weight is not bad at all, especially if you have used the Nikon equivalent.

Some numbers to ponder on...

Lenses:

Fuji XF 50-140 f/2.8 = 995g

Nikon 70-200mm f/4 G ED VR AF-S = 850g

Camera bodies:

Fuji X-T4 = 607g

Nikon D750 = 840g

Together:

Fuji = 1602g

Nikon = 1690g

I don't find either setup heavy in actual use. The 70-200-type lenses are the only zooms I ever use, the rest being fixed focal length. I play a 9 pound electric bass regularly, so compared to that, the cameras are featherweight!
