Lunched my Aero Trans - US Sources for rebuilt boxes?

I knew it was a matter of time. Some of you may remember several posts I've made about not being able to get the car into reverse without much monkeying, when I bought the car almost 3 years ago. The problem was definitely the trans. It sounds like lots of things are moving around in there right now.
I have no problem sourcing a used box for a great price, but I kind of think that buying a mystery box isn't really my solution. What do you guys think about my list of options?
1. Source a rebuilt Saab trans at ~$1700 - $2500. If so, where are some reliable vendors.
2. Source a low mileage 9000 Aero trans and risk it - $700.
Love the car. It's a 1994 5spd with 185K. I would have easily driven it until 250K if this problem didn't develop. The technician working on the car does NOT want me to part it out; he says it's an extremely clean example like you just don't usually see on the road.
