 After 2 weeks using the XE1 exclusively, I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 issues that figure significantly.

.......Battery life and view screen size.

I twice discovered the battery was prematurely ( IMO) flat causing me to lose shots. And when switching to the D200 for IR it was like.... looking through patio doors compared to a porthole!

While the image quality is undeniable, the trade off for lightweight portability may be too bitter a pill to swallow.

I will persevere over the next few weeks ....but something, again, is pulling me to the D7000 sitting alongside the D200 in the rucksack.

When showing the viewfinder difference to my wife....even she said the D200, felt like a 'real' camera.

Haven't got the capability to edit images for posting while away ....but will post some on my return.
