50's Premier alternative?

I have this old 50's Premier pedal, I think it's called a Speedmaster. I had one when I was younger and in my quest to find something that felt 'right' I found one on eBay that came recently. Now, it's in good shape but - it's nearly 60 years old and I cant see it standing up to the hardships of regular use for too long. SO, I wanna find a modern equivalent.

Here's what it looks like:

Now, there's 2 important things I love about this pedal:

1) Direct Drive

2) The way the footboard hinges a little way in.

The footboard has the last 1 1/2"-2" hanging past the hinge... I play heel down and use this leverage to bring the board back up (I have the spring as loose as it goes). I can play real quick doubles and triples with this that I cant do on a regular pedal due to my weird technique.

SO

Is there any modern pedals that are a bit more hardy/strong that have these features?

Thanks in advance

Johnny
