I have two XT2's. Personally the superior EVF and the tilt screen are features I don't want to give up as it makes MF so much easier - but I also shoot a lot of low angle and overhead shots so my LCD is constantly on the move. Surprisingly I find the goofy portrait tilt mechanism on the LCD very handy too, I use it a lot. I thought about going the XT2/XP2 route, but IMO the XP2's EVF really pales by comparison. For MF use, its a major downgrade, I love the big EVF in the XT2 - again IMO.
I don't use peaking at all, focus magnify and just crank the JPEG sharpening up - you can see what I call "waves' when something snaps into focus. The image seems to shimmer a bit in the focus plane. Its tough to describe, but with that awesome EVF its easy to see.
OT - I had the chance to tinker with the A9 at a demo event in China a few days ago, the new, higher res EVF makes MF even easier. Hopefully it makes it into the XT3.
