Subject: [CR]Late model Peugeot PX-10s

Hi CR'ers I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience with late model Peugeot PX-10s? I am talking about the very last models, c. 1986. I was thinking about buying one (seller is asking $250, bike is in very nice shape). It's all Reynolds 531 and full Shimano 600EX group. I believe this was known as the PX-10 SH model. I realize these bikes don't have the collectibility of the classic PX-10s from the 1960's, but I am wondering if the late ones are still fine bicycles with quality workmanship, and if this is a pretty good deal. I am just interested in this bike because I thought it might be an inexpensive but high quality semi-vintage ride. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. (I hesitate to ask about a mid-80's bicycle on CR
so I hope nobody minds!)
