I want to replace my xe2 but my head is spinning.

Do I keep my budget low and get a used xe3 or do I splash our and get the xe4?

I sometimes find that just writing on a forum helps my dessision process but I would still like your opinion.

I did think about going xt20 as it offers a lot over the xe2 however, as I also have a xt3, I like the rangefinder style of the xe models

Being simplistic the main advantage of the xe4 over the xe3 is the tilting screen, but for a 2nd camera do I realy need this?

This camera is for simple walk around photography, nothing specific ie holiday snaps, street work etc etc

So folks, wa are you experiences and thought please

For me, I far prefer the functionality of the X-T20 over the other two. I’d really miss the tilt screen and d-pad with the otherwise nice X-E3, but the missing mechanical MCS AF mode switch and rear command dial on the X-E4 are total dealbreakers for me, I have no interest whatsoever in that one.
