How much to spend for a matching center channel

I recently purchased a pair of Meadowlark Ospreys. They are still breaking in, but I can already hear how great they will be. I hope to someday arrange a quality HT set up, using the Ospreys as fronts, and perhaps acquire some Swifts or Kestrels for rears. Right now, I have the chance to buy one of very few matching Osprey center channels that Meadowlark made before their unfortunate demise. It will cost a litttle more than 2K, almost $500 more than I paid for the mains (half of original list). which is about twice what I was looking to pay, and hadn't expected to spend that until a little further down the road. But I also am working to avoid upgrade-itis since I don't really have the time or the $$$ to justify it, and therefore intend to keep the Ospreys a good long time.

Is having a matched center that ciritical that I should lay out the extra dough for a chance that might not come by again? Or could I do as well for less with a different brand?

TIA.
