Fixing extension levers and/or upgrading to aero + interrupters

I recently put on some new tape on my extension lever-fitted bike. When putting the lever back on afterward, I found that it's not nearly as nice and responsive as before. Instead of snapping back to position, it sort of sags halfway and stops. The bolt it was fastened with may have snapped, although I'm not quite sure. (Reckoning it's no longer of good use, I removed the bad lever before taking the picture below.)
How can I fix this?

I'm also considering to toss the old levers and get new aero brakes and interrupters. Do you guys think it would be a worthy upgrade? If so, are there any specific ones you'd recommend? I don't intend to get expensive ones.
