Repairing your existing mower sounds good, but if you're going to get a new one I'll add another vore for the Personal Pace system from Toro. I actually have a Lawn Boy (they're now owned by Toro), and the self-propelled nature of the mower is virtually transparent. It just feels like a conventional mower that's easy to push. The mower is lightweight, easy to manuever and a cinch to start. And my LB uses the Honda OHV engine which is supposed to be the least-polluting powerplant out there. I bought it in April 2006 for about $420 (after $40 rebate) and Lawn Boy upped the warranty to three years.
If I had the right size and shape lawn I'd give an electric a try, but for me dealing with the cord would just be a nightmare...
