If it was me, I'd fit a matching set of Dunlop Roadsmarts and write off the 3-4K miles the front tyre has still got left in it but, if you are on a budget and you're happy with the old tyre, go with another Pilot Sport on the rear as the front and rear will be worn out at the same time and then you can go with a new matching set.
To me, fitting a more road oriented rear from the same manufacturer as the front could risk stripping you of confidence in the bike for the sake of a couple of quid.
