While there is a lot of life left in the magnesium material, I replace mine when it looks like that. The reason I do it, depending on water impurities, the steel rod can weaken. The lollypop shape will help fatigue the rod in the thin area. If the rod brakes off, it can be a chore to fish it out.
My thoughts...same as you...the steel portion breaks, I am going to have a hard time fishing it out of the tank.. That is a lot of material tangling on the end, with nothing to support it. Replacement is a $20.00 peace of mind.
