Peter, I can understand that you want to keep your old sail, but if you replace, it does not need to cost $2500, unless you go for some exotic materials. I replaced two sails (27 ft boat) for under $2000 this fall. The radial cut furling jib 135 was around $1k. Sorry, but I would not spend $500 for repairs. The new sail has to be better than your 10-year old one (even if it was in a good shape).
