Pretty much how I feel too. The lousy relability record only is a good enough reason for me to avoid it for good. My Z-1p might not have the same charm as the LX does (when it works), but at least it has never failed me.

Two LXen.  Didn't use them much, never got to like them, and lost big
on the resale.  They just didn't suit me at all, from the off-balance
strap configuration to the flash problems to the loud shutter to the
many, many repair needs.  All the hoopla about the OTF metering
sounded good, but in real life I wasn't used to setting the camera on
auto, and when I did it incorrectly exposed just as often as any other
center-weight meter, although it has some theoretical advantage if the
light is very low or changed at the instant of exposure.  For a good
manual Pentax camera, give me a PZ1p any day.
