I mostly shoot street photography.

I've been using a X100F for some time.

I started to miss some other focal lengths.

I like my Fuji handling, so I was tempted to go S10 or T30 plus 18-55 and 27 prime (selling my X100F)

But I see that there's a lot of good deals on FF now, for instance Z5+24-70 f4 at 1700 Euro (vs 1400 for S10/T30+18-55). I could add a Nikon 40mm for a smaller package.

The Z5 is FF, sealed, much nicer viewfinder... It is very tempting. It seems like much better camera for a (relatively) not much bigger price. It is obviously bigger (I don't think that bothers me that much) and heavier (that worries me a little)

Any suggestions?

I mostly do street as well.  My primary street camera is an X100V but when I need other focal lengths, I use my Panasonic GX9.  It's small, light, and has a good selection of small primes.  When I travel, I use the GX9 for street because, for me, it's more versatile as a travel camera (interchangeable lenses, stabilized video).
