As I understand it the Leica X series is no longer being produced so that is another drawback of the X2 so maybe it's better for service and support to buy something newer.
I like my old Rico GR II a lot but after many years of use it had to much dust on the sensor so I gave up on it, I am curious about the upcoming GR IV though so I haven't given up on the Ricoh GR series as such.
You might want to look into what Fuji and Sony has to offer as well or the Leica D-lux 8 if you favour Leica.
Age is not an issue for me, but budget kind of is(or else I'd be waiting for the GR IV). I'm told there are ways to minimize dust that relatively easy. I had a Sony, specifically the SLT A57 & didn't bond with it as much as the specs were there for me. Sold it to fund a Fuji X-E1+27mm f2.8(X-E2 was still new). I right now have a X-T30 & been very happy with it. A little too big to be an EDC setup for me, but great as a travel & outdoor setup.
Number 3 on my list, the D-Lux Type 109(same price as the LX100 Mk1 version, so might as well). I was originally looking for the D-Lux video but got wondering what other Leica's can be had for under $700, which led me to the Leica X series. I do like that the D-Lux/LX100 starts at 24mm at a f1.7, but want a fixed focal length for my edc/2nd camera.
