All that said, I've sold off some of my Nikon stuff to fund the Fuji XT1 and lenses. I just got sick of lugging the weight and bulk.

The FE 55/1.8 is one of the best pieces of glass I've owned/shot and it is plenty small/light. The Batis lenses are getting rave reviews but I'll likely get the 90mm macro instead of the 85 Batis.
I know guys who love the XT1 but it didn't really thrill me. I find I'm faster without the dedicated dials, and I really didn't like the raw files I got out. Plus APS-C vs FF, in-body shake reduction (in the A7ii and A7r2), much better high ISO and video performance - for me the Sony is a big win. If you prefer the analog dials and like the slightly smaller Fuji glass (which is very good), then the XT1 is compelling. Depends on what you like, how/what you shoot.
