A cheaper fork probably is not much different inside than an older fork.
But, it would also be 100% new and 100% hassle free to bolt on and go - it has become difficult to both find parts for, and find someone to to work on these old forks.
I'm fighting the same question with an old Specialized FSX 'Future Shock' fork on a 90's s-works M2 hardtail. I changed the seals, fluid and o-rings myself and its not quite right, so I'm farming it out. Is there a better option, I'm not sure, but, the rest of the bike is complete and period correct so I feel kind of stuck trying to keep it that way.
