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

Thanks.  What is "film simulation LCD"?

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.

Thanks.  It might be a combo of an X-E4 with 18/2 and an X-Pro3 with the 56 mounted and the 27 in a pocket.

My friend's 18/2 is doing well and the extra 1 stop of light to the 18/1.4 might be too much of a luxury.
