You must have a local place that can recore yours? I usually pay about a ton for mine.

Recored standard rad all day long IMO.

Paid £85ish to have mine re-cored, and we all know copper has the best thermal properties

Just got my radiator recored the other week at express radiators in norwich. Cost a little over £100 quid. I was told that they no longer make pattern radiators so if you dont have a standard radiator to recore you will either have to hunt for one on the net or get an aluminium one as mentioned above.
