Ayoh, I will not get a first generation A7 whatever just because I don't want to be frustrated by shutter vibrations - I'm not using tripods everyday but if I have to use them, I don't want to worry about micro-earthquakes 
However I appreciate your advice and will keep an eye or two on Sony. But as I wrote them about some quirks on their website describing the wrong features or illustrating them with a misleading picture they didn't even answer, so I guess they just have enough customers.
The camera itself is less a problem to finance but I would not necessarily go for the Sony lenses - I'm leaning more towards Batis, occasionally even Milvus (macro and very wide-angle don't need much AF). I'm aware of making a step back in terms of resolution - but the Fuji has 16 MP while the A7S or SII comes with 12, and the Fuji doesn't need to serve as D810 replacement. The Fuji is my current solution for a lightweight bag. Everything else I will watch and wait until there's a Nikon FF mirrorless coming round the corner.
The Sony A7S would cost me as much as the Fuji with two decent lenses. What I like about Fuji: They appear to listen to requests and get some additional features by firmware updates without asking money for "apps".
I will rent a Sony and see how and if I'm happy with. I'll know more afterwards. To me, you're not a fanboy but a pretty happy user which I consider a good recommendation ^_^
