Cosina CX2/CXM Use it or send to museum?

[dreamsoflucidity]

Hello to all,
My father gave me an old cosina cx2 with the cxm underwater case and flash, I am wondering if this is still considered a good camera or is it just to heavy to be lugging around on my trip to thailand. It's in perfect working order though.

The Cosina CX-2 is Japanese model made in the 80's. It is very similar to a famous camera known as the LC-A, but it is said that the Cosina is better in quality. I am looking to buy a Cosina and see for myself. If you have tested it out, let me know how it is or if you want to sell it I am willing to buy it!
