Rebuild this Weber or...

I'm starting my '70 Fiat Spider I got a few years ago. I am pretty sure replacing whole pieces like the distributor with a known good one will be ultimately cheaper than trying to rebuild. The math for the carb:

Rebuild it: $80 kit and I'll cad plate everything

Chinese knock-off: $100

Real Weber: $500

Empi: $300

I'll enjoy the rebuild, get to tumble the body, but I'm concerned there's enough corrosion that it's a losing proposition. Also against the Chinese knock-off.

Just want to get it running until I do dual Webers next year with cam.

What would you do?
