Thanks, Shel! You and William in your first two responses to my question have given me just the incentive I needed to wait a while. I do think an LX will be somewhere in my future since I do enjoy the tactile experience of a manual camera, but probably not at the moment. When I decide to take the plunge, I'll drop you a line.
Thanks again!

David ... The question is for what purpose would you use the LX? Will it serve you well? Have you ever held and shot with an LX? If not, before spending $$$ on as ~AS-IS~ camera, which happens to be an early model, you might want to think about getting your hands on one. The LX will add nothing to your photography except a unique metering system which has value in limited circumstances, and some nice (and useful finders, depending on what you shoot) and screens. It will, however, add immeasurably to your enjoyment of photography ~IF~ you appreciate its feel, build quality, and manual focus cameras and lenses. I'd suggest you find an LX and use it for a while, and then, if you like it, buy a newer model, with a serial number above 535****. It won't cost you that much more having all the latest LX features would be a bonus. There are many questions that you should ask about any used LX that you're considering. I'd be happy to send you a list if you'd like.
