If there was no price difference...

Thanks very much for all the advice/encouragement - I placed my orders today, for the X-Pro1 with the 18-55mm zoom, grip, 3x cards, 3x batteries and the lensmate thumb-gadget. The 18-55 isn't in stock just now, but I have proof of the order so I can at least apply to Fuji for the 35mm f1.4 while I'm waiting - could be that the prime will arrive before the zoom; either way I'll be a happy chappy. Can't wait to get my hands on it all...
 
I don't think Fuji will offer a bigger sensor. The APS-C sensor puts many larger sensors to shame, considering the extra cost of such sensors. And the Fuji lenses are full-frame for the sensor size in any case.

please correct me if i am mistaken but as far as i know the longer lenses can cover a full frame sensor while wider lenses do not. Operations manager Hiroshi Kawahara said so in an interview.

as a x-pro1 user i would still go for the x-pro1. But for someone who hasn't bought one yet i would suggest the x-e1 because using the OVF takes time to get used to and you can only use the OVF if you intend use fuji lenses.
