'03 Aero upgrading intercooler - worth the money?

Hi everyone,
It turns out the loud whistling noise that I'm hearing under boost is due to an faulty intercooler. While my car is 100% driveable, I am going to replace it. I don't know any performance issues, but I have noticed lower MPG...probably due in part to this issue. I'm surprised the intercooler has a leak, but then again, the car is over 9 yrs old and spent part of its life on the east coast.
Has anyone has experience using an upgraded intercooler from ETS, Abbott racing, etc? Will I see significant performance improvements if I make the jump? The ETS intercooler is about about $200 more than an stock OEM one, and the Abbott one is almost $500 more, not including shipping from the UK.
Any and all advice or recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Paul H.
