Tom, are you still shooting Nikon and Fuji side by side?
I feel reluctant to give up my Nikons but I am finding that the Fujis have increased appeal due to their lower weight but also I like to use the EVF to pre-visualise my image exposure. Much easier than using the histogram.



JK-
I'm 90% fuji...most of that with x100t and xp2. I did buy a D500 and it's pretty impressive. I expect to use it for some birding and some animal portrait shots (though the fuji's seem just fine for that, too). I still use the D800 for the few instances where a really big file is a must (mostly architectural shots with tripod, pc lens and the whole magilla)

I'm probably selling my xt1 (definitely not interested in an xt2) and I have an xe1 converted to IR )

Obviously it was easy to buy too much fuji gear :-) it seemed so cheap compared to early nikon purchases :-) I'm likely to trim down my lens list and sell of the older bodies (though they don't fetch much).

Can't see offing anything nikon though...

There seems to be a place for both, if you have both. If you didn't I'd be much more leaning to fuji.
