Totally understand the conflict of keeping whats old/original versus buying and using the simpler product. Luckily there is no right or wrong decision in all this- its a spectrum of choices and we all just find our point on the line where we feel comfortable. Enjoy the tedious process of paint and rust removal!- it can become a bit zen-like with the repetitious back and forth of emery cloth!
