At f/1.0, you can notice the impact of moderate vignetting, and there's a lack of overall sharpness and punch The XF 50mm f/2 might actually be sharper, but that's irrelevant to a portrait. There is no doubt the Sigma 56mm has a smoother bokeh and fall-off, so it's the better portrait lens. Even at an equivalent aperture. The XF 50mm is not meant to be a portrait lens--that's why the XF 56mm f/1.2 exists. The XF 50mm will focus faster, since it's XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Fast and direct.

At 655 grams, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 is a heavy lens. When mounted on the Fuji X-T1 camera body, it certainly makes the setup quite front-heavy. To balance the lens a little better, I mounted the VG-XT1 battery grip on the X-T1. It certainly did make a difference, but it made it feel Includes lens hood. Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR.
