replacing cat pump 5cp2120w

one of my 5co2120w cat pumps needs to be replaced. I was thinking about replacing it with another brand that might not be so expensive. I know that cheaper is not always better, but I thought maybe someone could tell me if they have had any luck switching brands. I have tried to rebuild them, but I never seem to do it right.
 
I've replaced a lot of Cat 5CPs and 310s with Arimitsu 516s. I think the Arimitsu is a better pump and also quieter. The 516 has more pumping capacity than the 5CP. They also have a 313 that is more comparable in capacity to the 5CP & 310. It is also less money. Both are drop in replacements, just be sure to order it as a Cat replacement so you will get the rails and pulley required to do the swap.
 
If your manifold is washed out, the original has a lifetime warranty. If it's been replaced already there will be an "R" stamped on one of the three piston bumps just like there is a raised "W" on the middle one.
