I think repairing is fine if the repair tech will stand behind the repair for a while. Understand it's likely a temporary fix. Corrosion, like rust, like icebergs, you only see a tiny bit on the surface. In my neck of the woods it's getting difficult to find a repair shop due to EPA regulations and then it's expensive. Last quote I got for a re-core was $225. For $75 bucks I'd give it a try.
