Upgrade for Fuji X-T1

Some rumors about an early upgrade(?) of Fuji X-T1 circulate on the web (see this post on Mirrorless Rumors). The only discussed change is for the viewfinder. It is a bit strange: the viewfinder on Fuji X-T1 is one of the best currently available. If the rumor is correct, how the release of the new model would affect price of X-T1? Here in Brisbane the body only is listed for $1600AUD. For comparison, Fuji X-E1 (body only) is just $450, X-E1 with XF18-55mm - $800.

Announcement of weather-sealed Fujinon XF18-135mm lens is expected next Monday. The lens road map site indicate the lens aperture as F3.5-F5.6. The lens will make a natural part of weather-sealed X-T1 or X-T1P.
