I just downloaded the firmware for the xp1 (which gives it all the new features except the slightly higher res evf and the build in diopter).

It is great. Focus is still slower than a nikon, but much closer. The manual focus is greatly improved and makes it very usable in MF mode.

The difference between the xe1 and the x100 are the sensor (not too meaningful but clearly "better) and the interchangeable lenses... Negative... Probably not really a pocket camera like the x100, not silent (really silent) shutter and not high speed flash sync...oh yeah, and no hybrid VF.

For me the size is appealing and the EVF, but I'm sold on the x100 and xp1 hybrid VF, which for me really separate Fuji from the pack.

+1 Definitely agree. 
But then Tom is my USA twin. :-)
