Self Imposed conundrum

After some generous help from Hyperevue, I think i diagnosed my drivetrain problem. apparantly i was an idiot and ordered a 1/8 cog for my new whelset on my 05 pista. It appears i am running a 1/8 cog with a 1/8 chain (that came with the bike) and a 3/32 chainring (that came with the bike).

{insert insulting remarks here]

now that we've established i'm a moron--whats the best way to fix this? Since i just got a new cog, i am temped to just get a new 1/8 chain and get a 1/8 chainring to replace the current 3/32 one, so as to have all matching components and a new drivetrain. My only concern is that i;ve heard 1/8 chainrings are tough to come by. The other option is obviously to purchase a new 3/32 cog and suck up the $20 i spent on the 1/8 one.

Which route is preferable and why
