I suppose to some extent we all ask ourselves what is the intended result and was is the intended use of the tractor. I've invested in some repairs for my 430 based on my own cost/benefit tradeoff analysis.

And the cost of the later is easier to justify than the cost of the prior.
If your tractor is of the "pulls the float, makes great noise and generates smiles" end of the equation then a pit or two may suffice vs extra investment in larger pistons and more boring.
I suspect that in the end, each person's goals and pocket book will determine their level of happiness with the results :-).
