Made radiator repair, caused another.

While replacing all belts and replacing my power steering pump, I lightly rested my hand on the upper radiator neck/hose. It broke, so I investigated making the neck repair, per posts listed here. Once I let everything cure after 24 hrs. I started it up and guess what? The upper tank cracked in another place and the entire neck area and surrounding portion of the tank broke off. At least the core looked clean. So I am contemplating re-tanking it for $80-100 or seeing if a fellow member has a good used one for sale until I can buy a new one. Let me know what you all think. vstech - you got any local resources - cheap cheap cheap? I would really be taking my chances at Pull-a-Part.
