I don't know, I bought a friend a KX as a Christmas present a few years ago, to replace a stolen K1000. She's never used and went darkside digital not long after for a trip to India. Ended up using a Minolta film P&S leaving the DR at home. (Yes, I know. I don't understand either). Just remember the newest KX is going to be 30 years old, and relatively rare, with many fewer donor bodies for parts. Especially the meter which is pretty much unique to this model. If I were worried about longevity I'd look at a KM, I believe that a K1000 meter could be an almost direct replacement if it ever went bad.
