I agree - this is everything I wanted from the VI as well. I sold my X100F because I found myself using my X-S10 far more often. The X-S10 has IBIS, and I often bumped up against the limitations of the X100F's lens when trying to take close-ups wide open, and it was hard to justify keeping both. That said, I regretted the decision almost immediately. I've pre-ordered the VI.
I also have one on pre-order, and it will supplement my XT3. Now I just have to hope the supply chain gods are on my side. I looked at the X100 2 years ago when I got the 3 but wasn't ready for a single lens camera. The new X100 will replace my phone as an everyday carry camera. I hope to more fully commit to film simulations and rely less on raw files with this one. My XT3 isn't going anywhere as I am in love with the lenses I have for it. For me at the moment, the XT5 is an upgrade too far so I understand your hesitation.

Agree, I think the refinements in the X100VI are excellent, but I cannot justify the upgrade cost right now from my X100V.
