DIY could possibly be slightly better since it would be new construction.

Correct, unless someone just wants to have an all period correct speaker and willing to pay for it.

Technically, though in making a dimensionally correct clone, it normally equates to a subjectively slightly different 'tone' due to panel, bonding agent and especially any damping material differences combined with aging, but IME one has to have an original to detect it and even then, adjusting damping material density can offset it.

In the scheme of things then, DIY it, damp to 'taste', use the saved $$ to buy more music/whatever, then sit back and enjoy!
