I had the X-Pro 1 but have replaced it with the X-T1. I never thought I 
would go with a fully electronic viewfinder but the one on the Fuji is so 
good, and provides so many useful features, that I converted. Using my Leica 
lenses, especially the 90mm, on this body, is a joy. And of course the Fuji 
X lenses are excellent.

My M8 is now pretty much dedicated to IR photography or when I am sure I 
will only be in daylight.

Cheers,
Nathan
