Default Replacement oil pan

The oil pan on my new engine was stored bad and got dented before I bought it. Would you replace it for this? It is only about 3/16 deformed, it was set on angle iron instead of block. Clearance won't be an issue and I see no cracks in it, but wanted a second or third opinions. See photos below. And if you would replace it, what replacements would you recommend? Something a little heavier duty?

You can see where the little 1 inch strip of paint was knocked off from the inside of the oil pan.



Here it is from the outside.



I am personally leaning towards just leaving it and not doing anything.

Your pictures didn't come up. Here they are.





It doesn't look bad. As long as there are no creases in it It should be okay.
