I've decided to stick with the standard one. I rebuilt it with new seals and braided line and it's been much better. Was a cheaper option than trying to get a thou one.
 
Just know there are a few others on the look out for one.

I don't see what the big deal is, if you give the caliper a good scrub and regrease it 2 or 3 times a year it'll function perfectly well?

That's just blatant neglect, they must've parked their bike in the sea to get that bad!!
