Not really, the cheaper lenses are known to be good/excellent performers. Look at the new Tamrons and the Arts, even the 85 1.8 is a very good performer, none are very expensive. The X-Pro3 costs as much as my A7iii cost at launch and the XH1 was similar money at launch. So the other way to look at it could be, why by an apsc setup new for the same price or more as a FF setup when new.
There's not a chance I'd have bought the XH1 at release, I'd agree there if you were comparing original prices then definitely opt for a FFML. But I'm just thinking current prices, you can get a brand new XH1 with the grip and batteries for £1K, often cheaper during sales. You have a lot of change left over in that case vs buying an A7RIII - plenty enough for some of Fuji's best lenses. I wouldn't pay near the amount they're asking for a pro3 either. Again, in that case I'd go for the Sony unless I was rock solid set on staying with Fuji. Even then, IMHO, the XH1 is the best bang per buck in the system.
But we're comparing an A7RIII vs H1 here, I'm thinking Gandalf wants to free up cash otherwise why not keep both if you can?
