Once the brakes bed in they will stop you one dime! Not worth changing the master cylinder as it's a cunt to do & it wont help it only holds a bigger volume of fluid, it's the servo that provides the vacuum assistance.

Ive just looked on EPC and it seem the only 2 different main cylinders are 1 for abs and 1 without. only thing you could use if you do want to change is one from wilwood or ap racing.
