Just to counter the counter argument.... I bought a second-hand Super A in the early 1990s and it's been my main camera ever since. It's never given a hint of trouble (of course, now that I've made that claim, the meter will expire, the mirror will jam and the hot shoe will stop working.....)
I'd love to try an LX but you could buy at least 4 Super-A's for the price of one LX.
