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

    Thank you "69 Avion".....I will put some type of gauge on it while configuring it, its always nice to know where the pressure stands. :)

    The one on ebay is a larger flow than what you normally see for an RV regulator. All you need to do it put the hose fittings on it, and a gauge if you want one. Since they are normally set for 50# you may not need a gauge, but having a nice, liquid filled, gauge is real nice.

    I opted to order the E-Bay regulator, with a few modifications, I'll be ready to go. By far the best price I was able to find. Thanks everyone!!! :B

    I only have experience with the higher flow and am extremely happy with it. Can't compare for ya, like edatlanta just did, though.

    I used a Watts 560 for a couple of years and finally switched to the 263A because of the higher flow. The 560 worked fine, I just wanted more flow since I full time.

    I have found them in either HD or Lowes. I suggest a visit to the store myself.

    Some stores can special order for you as well if it's in their catalog but not on their shelf.. When I say "Their catalog" i mean the one that is for the departmental ordering person, NOT the one they provide to customers.
