Probably find if youre paying someone else to do it the refurb cost isn't far off a set of second hand brembos. This can be a bit of a minefield though with stripped mounting threads and bleed nipples plus the additional cost of new discs and pads if needed. Would also need to confirm your current wheels will clear the calipers.
I have the 4 pots but with Stainless Piston and I've still had problems with them sticking but that's Probably more through lack of use.
It's quite easy to strip them and clean them up but a bit long winded, once one Piston is out you can't pump the others out so it's a bit of a game with small g clamps stopping each Piston before they come fully out. The other option is to split the caliper but never fancied that.
