The Nikon F4 is pretty much forgotten by now whereas the F3 and LX are not. 
As far as I know the LX is a truly reliable machine. The problems actually 
comes from non-use. If the camera stays in the closed for years the rubber 
may go bad and the resistors (old type only) may corrode. Both are easy and 
cheap fixes. Cost no more than regular CLA on any camera something that 
should be done anyway when the camera is 10+ years old.
