Default New TB or machine my TB?

Does this look like a good purchase? No core, and a $40 refund if you send them your old one. It's gonna come out just over $150 after the refund, and that's $50 cheaper than having my old one worked over.

I've heard that can be attributed to a bad spring...that and a worn throttle rod bushing.
