I don't think "economical" is the most important thing to be concerned with when doing brake work. First and foremost, you want to be concerned whether the part is of good quality.

I think it should have had a 1 in front of the 3 !! otherwise its second hand, junk or both. Even if its only the mc & not the booster it appears very cheap. What are they on fastlane?

Boosters are very pricey. Someone posted a part number and supplier for a reasonably priced booster within the last month. Can't remember what thread it was in but he commented on the price and I asked the poster to put up the part number and supplier.
The $32 is probably a rebuilt MC. I've rebuilt a number of MC's over the years and wouldn't think twice about purchasing a rebuild kit and doing it again. Their failure is typically associated with bad rubber seals. If the cylinder isn't corroded, I don't see why a new set of seals wouldn't make these mC's good for another 20 yrs.
