Options for a bad differential 200 1991

After chasing a noise in the drivetrain all the way back to the differential, I found chewed-up planet gears on my beloved limited-slip differential. Is it practical to rebuild the beast or should I just get a plain old standard diff from the bone yard for $125 and be done with it?
Anyone have any idea how much these things cost to rebuild?
It is in decent shape body wise, about 170K miles, I have owed it since new and this year I have been using it as a winter car so I wouldn't have to get salt on my 04 MINI. It may be time to part with it because here in Mass they don't give any multi car discounts on insurance.
I figure I have to fix it to sell it, it is much to nice to junk or give to charity.
Thanks in advance Steve M.
