I do the same. I want the back to be as pretty as the front. It isn't unusual to spend more for that fabric. I haven't tried the wide backing fabrics, so I with the fabric of my choice, I sew two vertical seams, with the middle panel being wider than the two on either side. Just like the way it looks.
