Re: X-E4 vs X-Pro3? Street photography.

I am borrowing a friend's old X-E2 and her older, smaller 18/2 and liked the experience. Nearly weightless compared to my current bodies and lenses.
It has me thinking of getting an X-E4 and either the 18/2 or the newer 18/1.4.
Another option is the X-Pro3 for use with one of those 2 lenses.
If money were not a factor, what could be some key differences between the X-E4 and the X-Pro3?
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?)
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.
WR is not important. If it's raining, I'm probably not out shooting in it.
X-E3 is still a good camera - it has MCS switch. I have used mine with an OIS lens (18-55) and that works in low light - and really does not look like a "weapon of mass destruction" - rather candid and stealthy. Camera body with IBIS could also be usable...
X-Pro has more real style of course.
