I think it has to be the LX, for the meter that can go to minutes, the TTL flash - and later when your funds have recovered - the waist level and angle finders. The mirror lock-up on the MX seems to be a 'fortunate' bug but on mine it's unreliable. Tap the shutter too hard and it fires, too lightly and nothing happens, it has to be just so. There's also the question of whether this practice damages the mechanism!
Seems to me the LX has everything you need so no contest. In two years time you'll have forgotten about the expense.
