The other day, I compared the Fujifilm X-E2 with the FUJINON XF 18-55mm lens, shooting the same test chart as the Nikon D750 with the Nikkor 85mm ƒ/1.8G.
Some thought that this wasn’t such a good test. However, I was comparing mirrorless to DSLR and the sensors as well.
The second complaint was I shot at too high of aperture, introducing diffraction. So this is shot at ƒ/5.6 rather than ƒ/16.

Conclusion
IMHO the antialiasing filter on the sensor of the Nikon D750 affects the performance, and the Fujifilm X-E2 is sharper. By the way, the crop difference is due to the sensor size difference.
When running the images full-frame, I think the extra megapixels of the 24 MP Nikon may give it a hair advantage.
I predict there is a good chance in the future, with the higher MP chips, that the need for the antialiasing filter is not as needed for my work most of the time. So I think more people will want their chips without that filter.
Just for fun, this last photo
This photo is the Fuji cropped more excellent than 1:1 but gave you the same part of the chart that the D750 was at 1:1
