Central locking ECUs don't normally 'burn out' without reason. Unless you want the new one to quickly follow the old one, I'd find out why it died first!
Definitely no reason to buy a new one. A second hand one that has never been flooded is every bit as good as a new one.

And when they do burn out, it can usually be traced to the safety cut out switch.
Of course, this can all be found using the search function :D
