I wonder what "LX with AF" means to whatever Pentax source used the term. The - 5n is a similar size and shape with the same control layout, but the build quality seems far inferior. And isn't the MZ-S supposed to have "the build quality of the LX"? So maybe one of these models was supposed to be the "autofocus LX". If they still mean to make one though, then they can do it by making the -5n a little tougher and putting user-interchangeable screens in the thing.
