As others said, its important to understand the reason for the update. Is it pure pixel count? Then the XE3 is approbiate, the two additional MP on the XE4 doesn't matter. Is it IQ in general? Well, that comes to the difference between the X-Trans sensors. But from my research on Xpro2 vs XE4, it doesn't matter as well.

I do see a difference in performance between XE3 and XE4, and the XE4 has some nice additional features, e.g. battery charging within the camera. But again, these things can be negligible for you.

Now, regarding the XE4 ergonomics. I read a lot about it, and yes, for some it might be an issue. However, I have enough buttons for customization. And, even with my eye glasses, the EVF works for me.

At the end, you may go for the XE3 which is quite familar to your equipment of today (safe route). Or, if you really want to get the latest features and performance, manage to get your hands on the XE4 - maybe through a fair return policy from an online dealer.
