I've decided to put off buying an XE-1 until the announcement. From what I've seen the EVF in that camera is far better than the one in the X Pro-1 that I have and should be easier to use with my 28 Summicron. If the Mini M is a disappointment, I'll get the XE-1. Nice to have an easily available backup.
