Any respectable maker's front derailleurs pretty much shift the same and the advantage of higher line ones is weight and finish. The Alivio should work well.
BTW, you could replace the stripped bolt in your old fd for less than $1 at any hardware store. All you need is an M5x.8 mm bolt about 10mm long and perhaps the matching M5 nut if the original nut was damaged too. Possibly your lbs has a recovered clamp bolt lying around from a trashed fd and would even give it to you.
