The main new improvements over the X1 are a 16mp vs. 12mp sensor and an EVF viewfinder to work in conjunction with the rear LCD.
I had an X1 for a little while. It truly had outstanding IQ but using the rear LCD was just not doable. After having an x100 and xpro-1 that both have a hybrid VF, I have to wonder what Leica is thinking. Maybe the Leica EVF is much better than Fuji's but I could not live with the EVF only on the Fuji. I shoot it 90% of the time using the OVF which is great.
Can't wait to get my hands on one of the Leica's, but the red spot alone isn't going to sell it now that Fuji has an excellent competitor ... IMHO
