I've bought from both, with no problems. Ffordes especially, were excellent.
Though I'd be more than a little tempted to get a Voigtlander Bessa, with a very wide and a medium lens. Very wide lenses are the 12mm and the 15mm. A medium could be the 50mm.
An even smaller alternative, and maybe an even better choice, would be a Pentax MX. Its mechanical, so no batteries required for actual photo-taking, but only for the built-in light meter. The MX is smaller than the better known K1000, but maybe superior for that. Certainly easier to carry and pack away. Its not hard to find Pentax lenses on Ebay, or Ricoh (same fit), or Tamron (with adaptor).
