X-E4 vs X-Pro3? If money is not the main factor. Street photography.

If money were not a factor, what could be some key differences between the X-E4 and the X-Pro3?

The X-E4 lacks weather sealing, the hybrid viewfinder, and a few controls including the MCS switch compared with the X-Pro3. It also doesn't have the film simulation LCD

The intent is to use it for candid street photography. The smaller size of the X-E4 is attractive for stealth.

The X-Pro3 has the option of using the OVF in its hybrid finder but I don't think that's important for me. I shoot with an EVF normally. Having said that, the X-E4's smaller EVF is slightly worrisome (can I assume that it's the same EVF that's in the X-E2? Could it be like that of the X-T10, which is even smaller than that of the X-E2?)

All three cameras (X-E2, X-E4, and X-T10) have the same viewfinder.

The X-Pro3 is pretty and handles very well, but it's larger and heavier than I'd like for street. It pairs well with larger lenses though.

I'm not sure how I feel about the X-E4 missing the MCS switch on the front. Is it a pain to change modes? The rotary switch on most Fuji bodies is great. I'm not sure why that was sacrificed in the X-E4.

It's not a pain to switch if you setup the Q menu correctly, but I will say it's the only control that I actually miss. The other control dials I don't miss at all.

Really though, if you opt for the 18/1.4 I'd grab the X-Pro3 and look to pair it with the 56/1.2 since they're the same size and share the same filter but if you opt for the 18/2 I'd get the X-E4 packaged with the 27/2.8 which you can keep either lens in your pocket while you're using the other one.
