The X-E2 has the best EVF with a large eye point.

Furthermore, it also has a built-in flash.

Finally it has a focus mode switch.

So among those three I would pick the X-E2.

X-E2 is my favorite. It’s a backup body to X-H2S and X100V but it’s by far my favorite X-E. I didn’t like the ergo changes with the 3.

the X-E1 is basically an X-Pro1, minus the OVF but with a better EVF, plus flash, plus diopter plus less weight and smaller, and a lot less expensive.

The X-E2 improved over the X-E1 with an even better EVF, faster operation and AF.

Unfortunately, the X-E3 and X-E4, however, are NOT smaller EVF-only version of the X-Pro 2/3. I think that was a clear choice on the side of Fuji to protect the X-Pro line. I think there would be quite fewer sales if essential the same type of camera (sans OVF) could be had for a lot less money.

I personally wouldn't mind a lighter and smaller version of the X-Pro 3 with EVF only and a flash, but it will not materialise.

Funny you say this. I own an X-E2. I’ve owned X-E1 & 3 as well. I recently tried an X-Pro1 and couldn’t find a reason to use it over my X-E2. Few customizable buttons, single auto-ISO, OVF obstructed by new 1.4 lenses., worse LCD & EVF.. returned it.  Glad I tried it.
