Personally, I can't see paying as much for a rebuilt master cylinder as you
would for a new one ($99.95 from The Bus Depot), even with a lifetime
warranty.  You have to consider the time/expense/hassle of replacing the
part, even if they will give you another one for free.  Rebuilt parts should
cost less than new ones, not as much as them.
