They're a bit $$$ but we use a Lezyne floor pump at the shop where I work and it's great. Awesome action, very precise gauge, and the head is clever--it threads onto the valve for a very secure fit rather than the usual lever lock system. Only downside is that if you have presta valves with removable cores, you can accidentally unthread the core and pull it out when you are removing the pump head.
And I'd contact the dealer about your specialized pump. Even if it was manufactured by a third party, specialized should at least be able to tell you if replacement heads are available.
