Subject: [Leica] M9 reliability question

I have always said that once the M9 prices come down to a level that I am 
prepared to pay, I will buy one. Well, in the past week I have seen two for 
sale, for $2500 and $2200, respectively. The one I saw this morning has had 
the sensor replaced. Those prices are within my range, but I now have doubts 
about reliability. Clearly, buying an M9 that has not had a sensor 
replacement is out of the question; but in case one has had it, is the new 
sensor reliable?or is it just a matter of time before it starts rotting just 
like the original one did? And are there other reliability issues besides 
the sensor? Digital Leicas have not exactly had a stellar record.

TIA,
Nathan
