which vent?

It seems that I have a bad radiator vent. My varivalve is just leaking steam like crazy, and I am looking to replace it. The radiator in this room is probably undersized and is last to heat up in the house, but I cannot fix that at the moment. With this is mind, would a vent-rite be a bad choice? I was going to go for it since I see it recommended so many times on this forum until I read that vent-rites can be good in situations where the radiator is over-sized for the room...since it is the opposite case for me, any better suggestions? Thank you!!!

Pitch is good from what I can tell. Hope a new vent does the trick.0
