I too would hate to see anyone give up a car they love so much do to maintenance probs. I would think that once you fixed the handful of issues you woul be good to go for some time. There really is not much to break on an SVX other than the few problems we all have. If your's is having more problems then you might have bought a poor example. Shame to lose another SVXer do to a bad apple. Whatever you do I cunderstand, though. You gotta do what you gotta do and sometimes that means sacrifices one way or the other. 
Best of luck no matter which way you go.
