I would always choose the X-Pro3 *but* I really value the hybrid optical finder and things like weather resistance, ruggedness, faster shutter and two card slots. I dig the screen too.

In your case it sounds like the first thing you noticed and valued about the XE2 was it’s small size and weight, and while the XP3 isn’t huge there’s no mistaking the fact that it’s slightly bigger and heavier than an XE body. So given that you’re not bothered by WR or the optical finder, it seems like the XE4 is the more logical choice. I’m sure there are reasonable workarounds for the control differences, those are the sort of things that might bother you for a day or so but you then just adapt to.

Of course the other option is to just pick up an XE2, since that’s the camera you liked in the first place. They still take nice pictures, and it’d be a cheap entry into the system while you figure out what else you want.
