While I agree that learning (and working) totally manually is best, there's no reason why that can't be done on a DSLR, as long as it's one of the ones with a decent viewfinder. But that's beside the point, OP asked about film SLRs, so, yeah.
And while the Spotmatic is great, it's a joke to say it's greater than the MX or LX. They're all great, but the latter two are more rugged professional bodies with some better features to them- bayonet vs. screw mount, more viewfinder coverage, etc.
Which sort of brings me around to advice for the OP: Get an old professional body; they're all so cheap there's no point messing around with the lower-end models. Nikon F2, Pentax MX, and Olympus OM-1 are all options. I know Canon also made one, but I forget what its name was.
