So If I decide to spend the entire budget on camera and lenses, What will you advise to buy?

Sounds like you let a small influx of cash trigger a GAS attack. Based on the description of your current gear setup, there are SOOOOOOOO many better uses for that money, but I'll try to answer your question.

The updated f1.4 Fuji trio are better lenses, but they're all kind of bulky for an X-Pro (IMO), so be sure you're ready for that. If you are, go ahead and pull the trigger. You don't seem fully satisfied with the Viltrox, so you should replace that too.

Alternately, go ahead and have fun trying a new system. Just be aware that, as someone apparently susceptible to GAS, I doubt you'll be satisfied with one lens in a new system based on what you're currently using. You'll be spending your next "toy budget" before you know it!
