Joe,
You should definitely look at the Nikon DL's, the 18-50 would be perfect, 1" sensor, nice wide angle range, pocketable, ... oh wait. 😀
As you can see from the camera size, you gain no pocketablility with these cameras over your XE+27. Maybe the Ricoh GR, otherwise you're about done I think. Sorry to try and save you money this time 🙂
