The best center is not a center speaker but a 3rd main speaker. Can you find another Innersound?

Need Opinions on center channel speaker....
I am looking for a center channel that will mate well with Innersound Eros MKII Electrostats.
Innersound makes no center speaker offerings, so it is not possible to match, my choices are limited by budget, and I want to get the best speaker that will blend with fronts.
Magnepan offers a center that is cheap, I only know of one member who has the "MGM C" at $300.00 new it is atractive in price but I am worried about its low end roll off of 100HZ, being that it is a planar it seems that it should produce a similar sound for HT, I seldom listen to multi channel audio, I am a firm 2 channel fan.
The member who has this speaker is more into audio than HT as we all are, but I do want to enjoy movies when I choose to watch them, I have also thought perhaps a center with cones and a ribbon center may be a good choice as well, I also would surely benefit from better low end extension, I did watch "league of extraordinary gentlemen" with the center rolled off at 100HZ and didnt really mind it so perhaps I have answered my own question about the roll off issue, so now I am asking if anyone has ideas of a better speaker for $400 or less new or used, this is going to be a birthday gift and that was the budget I was told I could shop within (I am too broke to buy one on my own)...boo hoo yea I know lol.
I have looked into Boehlender Graebener (sp) Z5 ribbon tweeter center, also a Mirage OmniCC1, and various used centers trying to find that ribbon tweeter.
So after I have rambled do you guys think the Maggie MGMc is a good choice or any ideas? please lend a hand here as this is gonna have to be best for the buck decision. I do watch TV with center for casual veiwing and between HBO and DVD I like a good movie once or twice a week.
As always thank you guys for your help and I value all opinions.
