Skimmer Pump Not Working - Suggestions for Replacement?

I have Euro Reef skimmer that had a Sedra  KSP-3500 (350 GPH) pump on it. I was happy with it's performance, but it seems to have died. I've tried soaking the impeller and pump housing in vinegar and water, but doesn't make a sound when I plug it in, so guessing I need to replace it. Should I replace with the same pump, or anybody have advice for a different pump? Somewhat cost sensitive here. I bought the skimmer used and only had if for a little over a year, so don't know how many miles were on the pump and how reliable that model is.
 
I really like the Varios line of pumps.  Their needle wheel skimmer pumps are super quiet, very energy efficient and variable speed.  You’d have to contact Coral Vue to see if they make a plumbing adapter to fit a Varios to your skimmer.
