Thank you all for your replies.

As I can see there are no bad choices here, I am surprised that there was not much love for the X-T1. I found only a few on eBay for 300-350 dollars but a little bit more beaten up than I would prefer.

BTW my lenses are the 18mm f2, 23mm f2, 35mm f1.4, and 60mm f2.4.

Late to this party, but I vote for the X-T1. You can get them rated like-new from MPB or KEH for $500-ish or a bit under. I'm thinking of getting one and I don't even like X-Trans.

Another thought would be a pristine-condition Bayer-sensor X-T100. It's emphatically not for continuous AF, but single-focus stills are gorgeous. Love that camera. I really prefer the rendering and the way the color algebra plays out with the Bayer Fujis. Same with XF10 and the original X100. X-T100's successor, X-T200, not for me--IQ is at least as good but it's a more smartphone-esque interface, no D-Pad, etc.

An X-T3 for $650 seems like a better value.
