I'm a big fan of the 200FG. I've completely rebuilt mine with all new o-rings and I have plenty of the cost effective cartridges. Despite being discontinued the cartridges are still extremely available. I modified mine with a vacuum gauge and a vent/bleed valve. As for your stuck drain valve, mine is plastic and has never gotten stuck...though I don't use it very often. You might try McMaster-Carr for a replacement fitting. Straight thread not tapered. I can help if you need. I may have a metal drain valve laying around too. If you think you might want it, let me know.
