Carb bypass valve diaphragm

OK, so I'm in the middle of a carb rebuild on my "72 TR 6 and I find that the 
bypass valve diaphragm on the first carb seems to be marginal (still moves 
but seems to be a bit brittle).  The rebuild kit I purchased locally doesn't 
have a diaphragm included.  My question is, Do any of the rebuild kits 
offered by the big three include this?  Or, How critical a component is it?  
If I just carefully reinstall the old diaphragm along with new gaskets will I 
notice a major difference in performance?

My reason for doing the rebuild was to try to cure a rough idle and inability 
to get mixture settings correct.  Could this be part of my problem?
