912 (well, 914) flywheel advice - is pitting okay?

So my long search for a 914 flywheel for my 912 might be over, as a couple of possibilities have cropped up, a cheap one, and a slightly more expensive one which has been resurfaced.
I reckon that even after paying a bit for resurfacing (which should be about £30-50, yes?) the cheap one will work out less, but I'm just a bit concerned about the amount of pitting on it.
Is this okay or not?
Cheers!

Looks like it's fit for scrap to me - has it been buried in somebody's garden for the past 10 years ?

What does the nose look like? (Just out of shot at the top). The flywheel seal needs a good surface or it will be leaking oil after 20miles.

Cool I'll give that a miss then, thought that might be the case...
Cheers guys!

So another one has cropped up, but in the states. It has had its surface re-machined, so I don't need to worry about getting that done.
It's going to be about £180 by the time it's shipped and import duties paid etc, does that sound good or should I hold out for something in the UK/cheaper?
The other thing is the brand new 914 flywheels on ebay, which come out around the same price, but I've heard people say they're not very good...
