I used to have two OM-1n bodies until I replaced one of them with an
OM-2n, after which I never used the other OM-1n again and it eventually
went to my sister, so from my point of view and in your position, I'd
buy an OM-2n - BUT you're into astrophotography (which I'm not) so the
mechanical 'B' and MLU of the OM-1 would be important to you. The OM2000
is a Cosina and you've already become used to the quality of a real
Olympus so you're unlikely to feel very happy with one of those except
as a spare body.
I think you have to ascertain the repair status of your OM-1n before you
can make a satisfactory decision. If it is repairable at an affordable
cost, even if you have to wait for the actual repair, that would be a
good time to decide whether to buy an additional body - perhaps an
inexpensive OM-PC (I really like mine) just to get you through the
waiting time.

That's just my perspective
