Depending on your focal length / aperture of choice, the lens size isn't terrible, and you're at the 4:3 starting point, with the 44x33, cropping you into the 33x33 (same as GFX) your 1:1 format. The in hand feel of the Hassy trumps the Fuji (imo).
On the flip side is M43, starting you at the 4:3 format, so again the crop for the composition is less than when starting with the 3:2 format of a FF.
Personally, I'm a 4:3 fan, so from FF 3:2 (36x24) > 4:3 (32x24) isnt' as hard a crop as from 3:2 to 1:1 (24x24), regarding how many pixels you're tossing and how much diff the vf comp is from final crop comp.
The Hassy and Fuji both start with the 4:3, leading you into 33x33, but if bulk of the Fuji is a put off for ya ... get your hands on a Hassy to try ... before you feel compelled to stick in FF territory.
The only "knock" of warning I have about the Hassy is the leaf shutter system. I totally dig on a leaf shutter ... the radial symmetry of forces (vs. linear of focal plane) keep the vibes down lower (Q series also uses leaf) for hand held / long exposure / etc.
The caveat for the "knock" is that if you do want to use adapted lenses (part of my overall plan) to keep the size weight in a different realm ... you don't have a focal plane shutter in the Hassy, so with no leaf shutter in the adapted lens, you're only shutter option is the electronic shutter. Which, in turn has its own issues (may or may not be an issue for you) depending on what / how you're shooting.
If you're mostly using native leaf shutter Hassy glass, then the issue of electronic shutter isn't that much of a knock, as it is with adapted (e.g. M lenses, etc.). I had planned to use my investment in M glass mostly with my X1D II ... but, I've had to re-think that a bit. I'm out of the Hassy right now, and looked at the GFX, but the ergo didn't trip my trigger compared to the Hassy, so I'm exploring with an SL2-S right now. Hassy will likely work it's way back in down the road, with more emphasis on the native Hassy glass.
