Agree that replacing comp tip will work as original if done with care. There is a video in the 20SE or SC posts that shows how easy it comes out.
That being said, I would buy a new mast but all aluminum (or carbon if my pockets are deep that week) so I don't need to fiddle with hook at top. Plenty of mast extrusions for sale used or new. Then again, I do not fear making major modifications to a boat (I repowered my F242 with a 4 foot taller mast for example). Also, I don't worry about lightning or power lines where I sail. For me, boats purchased from manufacturer are meant to be improved upon. Not that there is anything wrong with a Getaway, I just like to fiddle.
