If the X-Pro focus is even just as good, it will be fine. People complain that the X100 doesn't have DSLR focusing speed, but it is decidedly faster than a human actually focusing an M (as opposed to zone focusing). It's like the joke - I don't need to outrun the alligator - I just need to outrun my friend... When I get back, I'll report on traveling with the X100 vs. the M8.
