Tuff steering wheel... to restore or not to restore??

First of all I'm still learning so forgive my ignorance. I've been looking at steering wheels for my 74 Duster. I've been looking at different styles online and I was getting ready to one. i decided to get one that looks similar to the one that came with the car. While I was looking for that style,(thinking it was an aftermarket wheel to begin with), I came across the Tuff wheel and realized that it looks alot like what I had. So today i went and took my wheel off and it had a Mopar part number. I punched it in to google and sure enough it came up as the Tuff steering wheel. Problem is the previous owner took and siliconed a steering wheel cover to it, which is why I was going to replace it. Now that I know it is a Tuff wheel do I try to find someone that can restore it or do I just get an aftermarket one that I like. I did call a company I found online and they said it would be atleast $300, which is way out of my budget.
