My guess is it's probably worth getting a new pipe - no matter how good a weld is, it's still not going to be as strong as the unbroken original pipe was. Meaning, there's a chance it's just gonna break again in the future.

Also, nice to see that a combination of brains and skill will still occasionally beat concentrated cash when it counts. Good job!
