All the this camera's better than that back and forth gets kind of funny after awhile. I did a workshop last fall with one of Magnum's best, and a couple of his fellow Magnum photographers came to some of the events. Three of them were shooting XT-1 for most of their work. These are guys who have Leica Monochrom and 240M for free from Leica, but they bought their XT-1. One just finished up shooting a documentary of a disappearing community in Korea, all shot XT-1 (other than the under water stuff.)
Fuji gives up nothing to other APS-C bodies, and very little to full frame bodies (other than being smaller and lighter) up to around 20-24mp. It's also 14-bit raw files and not 12 like Sony or micro 4/3. That doesn't matter for most people, but does for some. I can also tell you from personal experience that shooting up to ISO 6400 is no big deal, even in color. The Fuji primes are really spectacular lenses. They do very little in camera image correction for them, which is rare in mirrorless land. (See photozone.de for details)
Really, there's no reason to avoid XT-1 unless you need files over 24mp. One or two stock houses, and a couple of major publications, to have that as a minimum unless you're well established.
