Been spending a lot of time on here!
Take Kayo is among the more grounded Fuji shooters online. His lens reviews are worth a look.

X-T20 came today. Even after playing with it in the store I was still amazed at just how small it was when I unboxed it. I think it’s definitely going to be better to backpack with.
But I don’t have the lens here yet. It’s really hard to have a new camera to play with and no lens to mount on it lol.
Congrats from me too, I am sure you will grow to love the X-T20 and I might even ask you for some landscape tips too.
I haven’t taken a single photo with it yet and it already has me considering selling all my Nikon gear.
Damnit this wasn’t supposed to happen.
Hang in there. Use the Fuji for at least 6 months. Then the enthusiasm of the new camera will wear off, and reality of what the camera can and cannot do, will then set in. At that point you can make a better decision.
To me each camera system has its strengths and weaknesses. If you cull down to only one camera, then it becomes a "jack of all trades." Then the issue is, will it be "a master of none." Well maybe a master of only one, and a compromise on the other.
This is why to me, I will have a P&S, a m43, and a dslr. Each system is able to do a task that the other cannot do, or cannot do well.
You could migrate the Fuji to be your primary camera and make the D810 your secondary camera.
Or keep the Fuji as your secondary hiking system.
BTW, that "new camera/toy" effect has hit me as well. I am toying with getting more Olympus m43 lenses, to flesh out that system. But, I am going slowly, because I know I am going through a "new camera/toy" syndrome. And I don't know if the Olympus will be promoted to be my primary system, or stay as my secondary system.
Yeah I’m definitely taking it slow.
I’ve got a few weddings booked this summer that I’m definitely still using the 810 for as my main body, I won’t use a new camera format for critical work for a long time. I’ve gotta be super familiar with it first.
But I am already planning to get some more lenses for it.
The 10-24 actually just came today (arrived early) and I’m loving it, but definitely need a more standard focal length to really evaluate the camera as well.
The 35 f/2 is super fast and light would make a great complement to your 10-24. It’s fairly cheap too.
I’m going to order another lens today. I’m debating between the 35 f/2 and the 50 f/2. I know the 50 is a little long for a walk around lens, but I never really used the 50mm focal length on my full frame because it was a little wider than I like.
In all honesty, I really want both of them. And the 16. And the 55-200. But my wallet isn’t a fan of that idea.
The XF 35mm f2 is just a fantastic little lens, well it is for me.

I agree for the most part. I don't shoot landscapes and if I was into it, I would go with the larger format sensor, AKA Fujifilm gfx. Far as macro, the new 80 mm macro was long overdue for the system, and it appears to have incredible resolution. However, the professional macro work definitely benefits from a larger sensor, AKA gfx. In my opinion, Fuji X is a great all-around camera, good at just about everything but a master of none, like my work.I can simply not imagine anyone serious about landscapes going to a Fuji camera for high detail work in the small camera size. The lack of detail is very apparent on many scenes. A Nikon or Canon or Sony full frame cannot be beaten for detail Nand crop-capability in a smallish and affordable camera. Fuji' small sensor cameras are just nowhere near the right tool for landscape work. I personally think they are also kind of lacking in macro work as well, but then I prefer high detail rather than pretty colors straight out of camera. In the past I've owned four different Fuji DSLR cameras, and every single one of them suffered from the Fuji problem of beautiful color but lower than class resolving power for its era of production.
U see online a lot of people saying "oh my Fuji is just as good as a big Sony or big Nikon!" For landscape work? No, it's not. But it is small and light and nimble, and there is that benefit.

I'm guessing pro landscape shooters were among the markets Fuji targeted for their big sensor GFX system.
