The XPro is larger than the X100, but the 35/1.4 lens is large in diameter,
and that encroaches on the real estate for your fingers. Your self portrait
on Steve Barbour's photographer page gives me the impression that you have
largish hands. If your hands are comfortable on the X100, I think they
would be fine on a XPro
