AD600 due to the mount. I don't like the AD400 mount. Get 2 AD200 units and the bracket to put both of them in a softbox if you need the power and you can always separate them when you need 2 lights.
Yep exactly what I intend to do.

One of the things I'd like is a viewfinder as I've noticed recently some times when it would be handy to have rather than just the screen and the X-A cameras (like my X-M1) lack that.

You've confused me a bit with "in a few weeks when the XT20 is out".
Whoops, I meant when the XT30 is out.
Agreed on the viewfinder, a comment for consideration- although it has a higher refresh rate, the EVF on the X-T20 is smaller than that of the earlier cameras like the X-E2. I do personally notice this.
That being said, I also have the Panny GM5 and can function with the much smaller EVF on that camera.

I've never used or even tried an electronic viewfinder so I will need to see how I take to it.

Another lightly used 60mm f/2.4 has just popped up locally so now the decision between camera and lens is back

In the meantime, making use of what I have now, here's one from yesterday using the 18mm f/2 (which I haven't used for a while, it's my least used lens as I only bought it so that I'd have a wide angle native lens in case I go anywhere and need to keep the kit small, too small for my K-3 to be an option).

X-T3 and XF16-55mm @F11 ISO160 - 60 seconds.
I got out of subway when I saw the colors in the sky, ran to that spot and in a minute the camera was on tripod, ND filter attached and ready for a 50 seconds exposure. Glad I was carrying my camera bag today when commuting.
BTW I used some GOBE filter set for the first time on this image. They are relatively low priced and I think the quality is great for the price. The 3 filters set has a nice box and a smart way to keep them attached when not on camera.

Enjoy, whichever way you go. That's a tiny little human!

Thanks, I just did a A3+ Print on Canon Platinum Matte paper and it is looking really good.
After 4 months shooting the Fuji System almost exclusively I can say Im very happy, not only by the results (IQ and Prints) but also by the whole Fuji shooting experience.
Another example of Fuji strong points : I've done a photo reportage for an association recently and ended using only the Jpegs SOOC ! Huge time saver and the client was really satisfied.

The ability to use SOOC jpegs is a big part of the Fujifilm experience and one of the biggest temptations to move away from Pentax as my main system.

I agree, JPEG shooting has been a new path to taking pictures for me. I've learned some new things by shooting JPEG's with a ML camera.
Of course I keep shooting RAW alongside and the last image I posted is purely a RAW image shooting and PP.

Don't ask how, but I managed to take this shot 4 stops overexposed. Even so, the sensor in my X-T20 body captured enough information that I was able to pull this usable photograph out from raw. When I first opened it in RawTherapee, the preview was completely white. A few minutes work with exposure, contrast and saturation made up for the loose screw behind the viewfinder.
