Sand Wedge that matches set

I have a set of game improvement irons 4-SW. I was thinking about replacing the SW with something that was more like a classic sand wedge than an iron.
However i am having second thoughts. I get to the range every week but only get out on the course 1-2 times a month.
While a newer wedge may be a little better for bunker shots(my sw is low bounce)it's kind of nice having all irons the same. Aside from the bunker i do not use the SW for full shots.
Anyone have any suggestions?. Was thinking of getting something real cheap off ebay but i play my clubs an extended length and midsize grip so by the time i got them adjusted it would be a waste. If i get something it will be a component that meets my specs.

You can buy a SW head from Golfsmith pretty cheap. Then add a good shaft and grip and you're all set. They sell different styles, one is sure to be close to what you want. They have their Tour Cavity Forged SW head on CloseOut right now for $5.94, down from $29.99.

To me, the attraction of having a SW that is an extension of my iron set would be to use it from the fairway. Since you don't do that, and only use it out of the bunker, I would definitely go with a specialized SW.
