Replacement March 809HS 809 HS pump head

Broke the head on my pump today while brewing. Any advice on getting a replacement head other than standard ones at MoreBeer, etc.?

A quick search on ebay produced this result:

I'm betting you can find others also. Maybe even one of the stainless ones, if they're not ridiculously priced.

I see that some March 809's come with a brass head. I'm contacting one vendor (pumpvendor.com) regarding switching the head, but any thoughts on using brass for homebrewing? What would be the difference than using brass ball valves, etc.? Pickle it every once and awhile, maybe once per year?
