Watt's water pressure regulators

Hi all......So I've had a Watt's H560 for many years now but it seems it might need to be rebuilt at a cost of 12 bucks, give or take! After viewing other models of Watt's regulators, I'm wondering if maybe I should move on to a higher water flow model(the H560 is rated at 2-2.5 gallons where the N55B is rated at 6-9 GPM). Just wondering what others experience has been with the higher water flow models...trying to weigh the 12 dollar rebuild cost with a 80 dollar new regulator cost?
Thanks for any comments

Have to agree with you "old-guy", the shipping is over the top. I'm thinking that maybe a rebuild is in order at this point....:) With that being said....its seems the Valterra Adjustable regulator with gauge gets plenty of reviews...just don't know how that one stacks up against the Watt's?

We rebuilt ours. Working 2 years since then and still doing good.

I am in the market for one, a watts model, but they want a lot of money to ship the things. our Home Depot doesn't handle them and I don't see any thing in Lowes web site to indicate they carry them. the out door store many use here on the forum wants $22 to ship which to me is over board. and they don't give you a choice of who does the shipping.

If the old one was working for you as far as flow is concerned, I would just rebuild it.
