If you don't see the difference here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1685214/0
then I really think there's no point forcing yourself into it.
For example you have not mentioned the rather bad CA on FE35, so it seems you don't put too much weight on CA correction, which is another are where 35i shines.
We all value different aspects of a photo individually (sharpness, aberrations, flare, smoothness and so on) and there is no right or wrong as Fred once said.
From what I've seen FE35 is a great documentary-style lens with the best AF in that focal length. Coming from the Loxia I think you might be missing Zeiss microcontrast and colors (I know I did when I sold my Batis 40). 35i will not give you those, as it has its own characteristics in those areas.
But I've seen also a lot of nice photos from FE35
