I would stick with what you have. Just remember that you have to throttle up pretty far to get the blade to open and start moving the boat backwards. If it is problematic for the remainder of this season you can change it out during the next haul-out.
You should give the one you have a good inspection while the boat is on the hard to make sure there isn't too much play. They can be remanufactured cheaper than new.
