There are not many FTA circular feeds. Unless you like the FTA music audio channels, then it's worth upgrading the DBS scalar rings.
Another option is to setup a separate motorized ku dish, then attach a DBS lnb next to the ku one.
Ku signal is a bit tricky. Not all the C-band are able to get ku.
Check out the link below to see how to attach the DBS next to the ku one:

Do you use the C-band to get analog or digital?
How well does it track the arc?

Will the DBS LNB add on additional channels that would not be available with a linear C/KU LNB? Because I was thinking of a KU upgrade anyways in the future and it is not that much more to get the 3 LNB feedhorn over the c/ku combo.
