I think you guys are chasing a rainbow trying to get the fuji's to replace the nikon gear.
What fuji brought to the party is SMALL and light. As in the X100t, the xe-2 and to some degree the xp1. Using the xt-1 with a long lens is like using a D40 with a long lens...it will work but if you have a D3 why would you pull out the D40? If you have a 400mm lens, you need a tripod...if you have a tripod with you why not use a D800?
Don't get me wrong...I think the IQ from fuji is top drawer but it doesn't have to match Nikon in every category to be the coolest thing in my drawer (or pocket).
Just my thought on it... Waiting for the xt1 firmware, too...but the minute there is an xp2, I sell the dslr junior and stick with the RF form factor for fuji

There was a slight tongue in cheek from me, Tom.
I have just bought a D750 specifically to enable me to carry on using my long lens (after selling my D3 and D7000)....whilst still adding to my Fuji lenses.
I still feel it's horses for courses for the reasons you suggest. But I am keeping a watching brief on Fuji and an open mind as to whether Fuji developments and a honing down of my photographic needs will draw close enough together, to abandon DSLRs.
I still believe Fuji bodies are let down by 2 things....their poorer speed of response and the disappointing quality of their digital viewfinders when compared to Nikon AF and Panasonic viewfinders.
