Looking for a Waist Level Finder body: Edixa Reflex vs. Nikon F2?

Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a Pentax SP II and planning to upgrade to a camera body with a Waist Level Finder. After doing some research, I'm torn between the Edixa Reflex and the Nikon F2.
I know the Nikon F2 is a legendary, durable beast with plenty of spare parts available for repair. However, the Edixa Reflex is much cheaper and, more importantly, it natively uses the M42 mount. This means I can temporarily reuse my current Pentax M42 lenses to save costs before upgrading lenses later on.
My biggest concern with the Edixa is its reliability and repairability. For those who have experience with the Edixa Reflex, how reliable is it compared to the F2? Is it too difficult to find parts or a technician who can fix it nowadays?
I would really appreciate any advice or insights. Thank you!
