MG TD TF 1500 - TF 1500 Gas Tank problems

My 54 TF 1500 has a small fuel leak around the pipe from the tank to the fuel pump. In addition, the fuel screen on the fuel pump is continually clogging due to sediment in the tank. There is also some small rust spots showing through the paint on the outside midway up the tank.

Question and your opinions... Should I have the tank repaired and epoxy sealed, then repainted with the exterior rust spot repaired OR should I replace the entire tank?

Either way, the tank will have to be painted at a cost of about $350. New tank and misc. parts will run about $1050. I'd appreciate any feedback.
