| One advantage to repairing the camera you have: you would know what you had. They tend to calibrate the shutter and service the equipment generally while they're in there, so you'd have a less risky-to-use camera than if you bought another.
Of course, at some point the cost differential becomes excessive and the risky unknown equipment becomes the better bet, but I'm not sure you're there yet.

A bunch of Nikons; Feds, Zorkis and a Kiev; Pentax 67-II (inherited from my deceased father-in-law); Bronica SQ-A; and two crappy 4x5 cameras with very good lenses (a better camera is on the list).
Favourite film: do I need to pick only one?
