If you're sure that you won't have a need for more than two single tuner IRDs, then you can just put another SW21 (you should be able to pick one up for 20.00 or so) out at the dish.
The cost is substantially less than the SW44, it doesn't require external power (the SW44 does) and you'll just need the single extra cable into the house (along with the two short leads from the dual LNBF's to the new switch).
However, if you do decide at some point to get a dual tuner IRD like the 9200, then you'll need the extra receiver capacity you would get from the SW44. The SW21 is a cheap way to get what you need now, though, and the the cable can be re-used if you decide to upgrade. Make sure you run RG6.
