Yes, this is a viable option. I did this with one for my E300 which I now keep as a spare. I bought it from a board member and paid him the core return plus shipping for a genuine OE bosch unit.
I had to buy a rectifier pack from a local rebuilder which cost $60 but the rest of the alternator was fine so all it took was less than an hour of my time to R&R the rectifier and I was back in business. Basically, it still cost me about as much as a rebuilt from one of the chains but I know it is fine now.
