Do you expect the Sony to be significantly better than M+EVF for focussing? 
It will be more co-ordinated of course ;-)

So has the Fuji X system pretty much been out-wowed by the Sony system? 
Primarily because Sony is FF vs APS-C?
Just curious. The X-T1 is coming, which looks like a great camera, but Leica 
users here are trending toward the Sony...
Just wondering which I should buy next: Seems the Sony for my hard to focus 
Noctilux and 75/2...
Keep using the M for WA (35 & 21)
Thanks for any thoughts,
Bob
