In all frankness I find the camera rather more complicated that it needs to be ( for me that is) and in some cases downright awkward with functions that are there but only work , for example, in MS or with more than one setting to be switched in or out.
 
My answer to it is to use the camera with the functions that I need and keep the other functions in mind (and that’s why I wanted a NEW small portable manual, like the one I have from when the camera was new, with all the new functions in it and with simple instructions as in: if you want to do this, do 1, 2, 3...
 
Some members told me to buy a book that another member wrote (which is definitely too big to take with me and wouldn’t be as coincise as I had in mind because you can’t charge good money for what I had in mind).
 
Yes.......as they say, keep it simple. If Fuji can’t , we can.

I gave no brand advise and only shared my experience and my way to reason.

I have owned  or used:
 
X-E1, X-M1, XE-2 
 
Currently own and use a X-T1 for over 3 years and counting.
 
I haven’t seen any reason to upgrade until now and probably will only buy a new camera if and when my X-T1 will cease to work.
 
If you buy a X-T 1 don’t buy a new one and buy one lightly used, there must be plenty out there.
 
You can print huge prints with 16Mp though most people never print anything anyway. Your 5 year old computer will not need any new software to process (I still use Aperture and NIK and LIghtroom 5 and Silkypix 2.0 ) the images and you won’t clog its memory banks with unnecessarily big files that only offer a marginal gain over the 16Mb files.
 
I don’t film, if I do, HD is more than enough for me, I don’t have any use for 4K and I don’t even own software (or a computer) that could deal with it properly, so, I don’t miss it.
 
I have taken decent pictures with it but have seen many very much worst pictures shot with X-T2 and X-Pro 2.
 
 
I know this is a spiny point of view shared by very few people who look for chops in boxes.

and how long does it take to go through all the pics and make a choice among many hundreds of almost exactly the same pics?

3,000 shots each session with a 70,000 theoretical releases ( don’t test the camera too much!) it comes down to about 23 sessions .
 
Of course why would anyone shoot 3000 pics per session is a good question to be asked.

I really think that you don’t need any other camera than the ones you already have, in fact, I believe that you have already too many cameras.
Use the ones that you have and be happy, go and sin no more.If there is any way for you to be happy with what you have, please be. I have a friend whom is forever buying cameras and audio equipment, but he also buys clocks. They are fetishes of some sort for him.You can only use one at the time and as you get older your ears are absolutely not capable to enjoy the finesses of yet another stereo system.
I see pictures shot with expensive cameras and lenses which could have been taken with cheaper ones to no detriment of the outcome. In fact I see very poorly processed pictures shot by people whom ruin them (and possibly don’t ever realize they do).
It is not that I  am jealous of his or yours capability to spend but is there anything that you will want to do and can’t because you don’t have the extra camera?
When I was younger I was buying clothes, for example, just for fun and because I wanted something new. These days I often question myself reasons to buy yet another jacket every time I see one that I fancy.
If you really don’t have any use for your money set up a scholarship which would award a camera to a deserving poor student whom cannot afford one. 
Good Luck.
