yeah, I agree, the most recent Fuji sensors are pretty dang incredible in low light, but to me are hard to directly compare because they're just ... different I guess. I honestly think we're quickly getting to the point where sensor size is actually one of the less important aspects to low light performance.FF and APS-C will never have almost same low light performance as FF brings about twice amount of light APS-C does and thats a lot!
Your argument isn't so much about FF v APS-C, it's about being on the bleeding edge of sensor technology. My APS-C X100T Fuji outperforms a 5DIII in low light (or any Canon, for that matter). What you're really judging here is more Nikon's most recent full frame sensors, which are incredible, but it really is nikon specific. It doesn't hold up across APS-C v FF comparisons.
Bill Claff actually rates your Fuji at ISO 6400 as better than a FF Nikon D750. There's more than just sensor size effecting low light performance. Ever look at a Bayer array and wonder why there's two green filters for every one red and blue? Look at a Fuji X-Trans CFA and figure up the green to red/blue ratio -- even more green.
