Kyle,
Have some wifi and my iPad for the moment. The primary benefits that I see with the XT1 over the XE2 are the EVF, the flip up screen, and maybe focus tracking (although focus may be a firmware update away on the XE2). For IQ, Luke's right about the XE1, but operationally, the two new ones are a pretty nice step forward. I love the 14 and 23 and am happy enough with the 18. The 23 has some magic to it and the 14 is just flat out excellent, with or without magic. For a 50ish, you can't beat the 35. If you consider the 14 and 23 too big, that could steer you away, but the 35 isn't that much smaller and the "big" lenses handle really well on either - I used the 14 with an XE1 last summer and it was no problem. The 18 is a pretty nice little lens and meets some if your criteria, but it's not wider than 28...
You can't go wrong with any if this stuff - just a matter of managing tradeoffs...
