[Leica] M9 reliability question

[Mark Kronquist]

Correct me but from what I head Sensor Rot will, eventually recur   All hail the M2/3/4/4-2-4-P M6 MP et al all sensor rot free forever

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.
