I would take an X100V over an old RX1 any day.

The user's experience matters more (to me) than the “legendary 35mm f2” alone on that fugly Sony which has the worst ergonomics ever.

Besides, Fuji’s IQ is no slouch!

Not so fast: there is an aperture ring, custom banks, ISO50 plus fast manual/autofocus switching. Eye af works well enough and it can use the external EVF. THIS alone is worth the money...

Handling not that different from Fuji, if you use aperture priority.  The menus can be confusing, so not as brilliant as the lens. But on my X-Pro3 I also don't find certain settings intuitively well, e.g. a good friend asked me where the AF/MF override can be set and if you always have to go direct control, drive, then dig in the menu to find the second part of focus stacking. Or where to activate vertical level. Or how to add focus stacking to My Menu. Or to the quick menu.

What I am saying I guess is that you will possibly find what you know more intuitive. Memory banks can help big time with quick changes from pets to people to video on Sony cameras, but if you need to find something specific, you better take the weekend off.
