Besides it is a good investment. Today's electronic cameras may not have spares available in just a few years. Did we not hear some complaints about the Minolta CLE? IMHO, the SL is a great deal. The SL2 is better, but you have to look harder to find one and pay much more money. On the other hand, the SL2 is a little more compatible with the later R cameras. In terms of viewfinder performance and light-meter sensitivity, the SL2 compares very well with the new R8. BTW, is your SL chrome or black?
