ME Supers are worth fixing as another one may well fail too. Better to take care of the cameras we have than to constantly take risks on "new" ones.
It's one of my favourite SLRs, the shutter sound is divine.
Shame about the 645, but there's plenty more opportunity. You may find one at a lower price sometime if you keep your eyes open, or your other half may relent and give you his/her blessing...

I would have to disagree that a 67 system would be cheaper than a 645. I use 645 simply because I can't afford a 67 system, though I would love one.
The 645 is just small enough that I can travel with it though, which I suspect I wouldn't practically be able to do with a 67. The 67 will certainly provide bigger negatives and higher image quality and resolution, and if you can get one within your budget and the size and weight won't be a problem, then I suspect that would be your best option.

If you like film, stick with it. You could probably get a cheap SLR for less than it would cost to repair your K1000, but they may not be as much to your liking. The P30 and ME Super are usually the cheapest options for Pentax SLRs. They're both nice but not as solid as the K series.
I haven't used a 67, but the original Pentax 645 is nice and I think you could get one with the 75mm lens for $400, but if you mostly shoot portraits you'd probably want a 150mm lens, which will be a bit more expensive. None of your current digital or 35mm lenses would work of course, so you'd need to invest in new ones.
There are other, quite cheap 645 SLRs from Bronica and Mamiya, but I haven't used any of them.
