M10 Dilemma (X100VI)

I have m10-r, m11 and recently acquired x100vi

You can’t really compare x100vi with any m cameras, it’s completely differently shooting experience. When travelling with family shooting landscapes and environmental portraits with kids and wife in the pictures I use x100vi. When shooting alone on the street I use either M’s

When shooting studio portrait indoor I use Nikon d850.

so you get the ideas, different things for different utilities.

With your dilemma I'd highly recommend to rather sell one M lens and keep M10 to directly compare your personal shooting experience vs X100IV (or purchase X100V). For me personally it resulted to be unsolvable question, and I ended up keeping M10 and X100V. And yes it's very enjoyable to often go with lighter set, but at a cost of tweaking some habits (not a big fan of autofocus or focus-by-wire, and diagonal parallax of X100 series). Like Warton well said - these cameras are different things and providing very differently enjoyable shooting experience and results. I think pixel peeping will not help to completely solve this question, even if you find one results dramatically different to other.
