Clean or replace radiator?

My '92 900S now has just crossed 200K miles. Over the past few months, the engine is running quite warm in around town, stop-and-go traffic - about 2/3 - 3/4 up the gauge. It hasn't gone above 3/4 and I can hear the fan switching on and running, but the fan doesn't bring the temp down like it used to. The temp goes back down to normal once I get back onto the open road.
Sounds to me like the radiator just isn't doing the job any more. Can I clean/flush it successfully, or should I just install a new one?
Or have I misdiagnosed the problem once again (something I am quite good at)?
If I get a new one, is there any difference between the $151 model and the $250 model on eeuroparts?
Thanks.
Thanks.
