X-Pro3 or X-T4 as a second camera

I only shoot stills. My main camera is a Nikon Z6. While I love it, I can not carry it all the time with me. Well, I can, but it is not worth it.

My second camera is an X100V with which I have a very strange relationship. Most of the photographs I take with it are not so good (comparing with the Nikon). It's not faulty technology. As I've come to realise, 35 is not the focal distance I'm that comfortable with. I know it now since yesterday I finally put a teleconverter on it, and suddenly got some very decent pictures from it. The converter is quite large though and makes the camera bulky.

For over a year I've been toying with the idea of getting a second body, and for a while was dismissing the option of X-Pro3. Mainly looking at X-T4. I can't say that X-T4 excites me, but the lens range is very appealing. Nikon Z 24-70 f/4 is a fantastic lens, but for the price of, say, 70-200 f/2.8 I can get a second body (Fuji) with a decent lens. A couple of weeks ago I realised that X-Pro3 with a couple of primes is a very compelling option. I could get a 33 or 33 WR and, say, a 50 WR.

Since I'm a bit lost, I'm asking for advice. How much will I miss IBIS on X-PRO3? Is X-T4 a better option? Are there any disadvantages I'm missing (say, I've seen someone complain about the breaking screen on X-Pro3)?

In a nutshell, X100V does not do the job as a second, daily carry camera for me. X100V + a teleconverter might do the job (focal distance), but becomes a bulky beast. Can I improve the situation with an X-Pro3? Or X-T4?

Here is an image from yesterday:

If you want Fuji and wanna stay compact and lightweight, I would say the X-Pro 3 with xf 35 f1.4 r or xf 27mm f2.8 wr pancake or xf 50mm f2 wr, depending on which focal length and max aperture you prefer. The new xf 33mm wr is bigger and heavier than the xf 35mm and might be bulky for your needs.  I have the X-Pro3 with the xf35mm and it's the perfect combo for me. I also have the xf27mm f2.8 wr in case i wanna go even lighter, more compact and have a full wr system. Personally I never had any problems with the back screen.

Another option could be the XE4 with same lenses suggestions. It's a smaller more compact system, especially in combo with the xf27mm f2.8 wr, but you do loose the full wr capability in case that interests you, since the camera is not wr.

Hope it helps.

Best,
