>> So why would one use the EVF over the LCD
The diopter is also a big reason to use an OVF/EVF.
I have to wear reading glasses now, so it's an inconvenience to use the LCD.
BUT, I have found that touch screen LCDs that support tap to focus+shutter mitigate that problem. In normal circumstances, I don't need precise focus (faces tend to be big enough) that I can still get decent shots even though the LCD is blurry to me.
