Gas tank -- replace or move under the bed?

Hey all, I just got my project running and idling in the garage with a makeshift fuel funnel. When I bought the truck, the fuel line was disconnected and I think I now know why. Once I knew the truck ran, I pulled the sending unit off the cab gas tank to find a pretty healthy amount of rust inside. The sending unit came out almost in pieces it was so rusted.

Instead of trying to save the tank, I have the option of 1. Replacing for about $200 with sending unit and OEM cab mounted tank or 2. Springing a few hundred more for a bed mounted tank.

Since this project will probably get an S10 swap in the next year, do I just do the cheap dirty approach for now or is there some unknown-to-me reason I should spend the extra and move the tank?
