Acquisitions: Floor Runner

I've been looking for the perfect hall/entryway rugs for a while now so that we can get of the last of the green shag. I'd really like one like this:
But these don't exist in Billings, or the world in general, for less than $500. Sigh.
I found a few runners at TJ Maxx yesterday - not exactly what I want - but you can't beat $20 a pop.
I'm a huge fan of the one in the middle. But I couldn't decide on the other two, so I got all three, planning to return the one I didn't like. The thing is, I forgot how looooong our hall is. Coming in the front door there's a 10 ft hall that needs a rug. Then the hall veers left for another 10, then a right turn for 15. It's long. The rugs, on the other hand are only 20" x 60" so they only fit in the middle section of hallway. Check it:
 This is as you walk in the front door. Definitely need a wider rug. This one is looking a little puny.
 Good width.....could be a bit longer.....but for the most part - ok.
Definitely too short.
The search for the perfect hall runners continues!
