There are a number of good aftermarket nose gears out there, but may I add as an instructor I have seen most beginers go from bending nose gears to never touching them again as they gain competency in landings. If you do it right, the nose gear will not touch down until well after the mains have taken the impact of the landing. Remember that with a tail dragger there is no nose gear and try to land that way - tail lower than the nose. You may indeed want to go to tougher nose gears on that plane, but the factury unit is adequate if you change your landings a bit. Try it, it can't hurt, and may save some expense as you will soon outgrow the trainer phase.
