What slightly concerns me is that by somewhat reducing moire, Fuji might reduce the detail of red and blue objects as well. I mean, taking the original Bayer CFA, a matrix of 4x4 elements will have 4 red, 4 blue and 8 green sensels, while Fuji's X-Trans will have 3 red, 3 blue and 10 green - even higher bias towards green? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I mentioned the shift towards green previously too, although I guess overall it isn't that massive a shift. If the already poor bayer pixel level colour resolution is considered acceptable, this isn't likely going to be different enough to be a deal breaker.
Had a quick scan through the new samples. The star one stuck out to me since I was imaging around that area last night, although with something a lot longer than the 18mm they used. The 18mm coma certainly doesn't help it here, especially as that is stopped down too. Wherever they took that has far lower light pollution than where I am though...
