I haven't found a Schwalbe rear that I like for winter North Shore riding. Like you, I dislike mixing tire brands.
Like you James V., I often find that a tire that works up front will be great in the rear in the wet season and I've wondering about the Magic Mary. This often suits me well because I don't go in for wider front/narrower rear, although what I'm running from WTB (tba) right now fits that description and is working very well. I think I'll double up the front and see how that goes.
