When you say you cant afford to replace both how much budget do you have ? I had a set of Metz Z6's fitted ride in rideout for £165. I know its a bit more than just a rear but its not alot and you wont regret swapping for Metz Z6's I love em.
As for mixing I had a Front Bridgestone 010 and Rear Bridgestone 020. It was fine to ride on. As the softer more grippy tyre was on the front of the bike. I quite liked the handling of the bike that way. However when I switched to a set of Z6's I found the handling better on the Z6's that the Bridgestones.
Personally I dont think you are going to find anything to work with the Metz4 front tyre. I certainly wouldnt mix manufacturers of tyre.
If you can stretch a bit further bite the bullet and replace both tyres. Go for a set of Z6's I had a set fitted last year at a cost of £165 ride in ride out. IIRC Continental Road Attacks are slightly cheaper. I've not ridden on these so I cant comment however some people love them and some people hate them.
