Sora triple front mech replacement

pangolin

The spring has broken on my wife's front mech. It's a Sora FD-3503, band on, 34.9mm tube. 9 speed triple.

Is Sora FD-R3030 my best bet for replacement? e.g. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Shimano-Sora-9-Speed-Front-Road-Bike-Derailleur_114990.htm

£30 seem steep for Sora but I haven't needed any parts for a while so maybe that's just the way it is.

Might be worth checking Bikester - they've got a big discount code at the moment and I noticed some derailleurs were included although no idea if there were any triples amongst them.

Says it's 10 speed not 9? I've gone ahead and bought the original one now.
