I had the same dilemma for the trip coming up in January (leaving before January 15th ), but I will not need it for a while after that. I did not want to buy an interim solution, already having X-100s and X-E1 as backups. My solution was to rent a body from http://lensrentals.com for the trip and then get a new body. I did take advantage of the Xmas lens sale, though.
