I have a Fuji XE2 and really like it, but I love my 6D. With that said, they are a good pair - if all I shot was travel or still life, I could probably make the switch but for me a huge chunk of my shooting is with a telephoto and in motion - mirrorless is still a long ways away from suitably handling that element.

In my experience, the difference between the XE2 and 6D with respect to autofocus in anything other than perfect lighting is more like 1 second vs 0.005 rather than 0.006 vs 0.005. I know the XT1 is an improvement but I have not used one first hand to know just how much of one.

I agree with Ed that the best camera is the one that you take with you, IQ is meaningless if you don't shoot. But with that said, for occasions where I just want to document them, the XE2 is a great alternative, but for occasions that are all about documenting them, there is still a mile between the two systems that keeps me coming back to my Canon.
