I've never seen an aftermarket electric servo unit, I know they exist though, just no experence with them. I'd be curious to see one though.
The vacuum servo was not all that hard to install. I clamped the sheathing of the cable to the old electric servo actually, the little bell crank on the OEM servo pulls at is a good place to attach the cable as it seems to have some mechanical leverage designed into it. I have toyed with the idea of extending the lever a little to give the vac servo a little more leverage as well. I had previously installed a round vacuum sphere from a chevy truck underhood, and I think it's probibly going to be needed using the vac servo. I also have my door locks run off an SDL's electric pump so that's one less thing for my vacuum system to have to support. I have much experimenting to do, and photo takeing, but I got around to none of it today. Tomorrow I hope.
