don't like black brake dust

Hello board, this is my first post here.
Last month, my good friend, NearlyNormal (longtime 9000 owner) helped me pick out and buy an '04 9-5 Arc wagon, auto, w/60k miles.
I'm so proud of it. Every time I walk up to my new car, I think, Wow! that's my car!!
The previous owner (another woman) took good care of it, only using the Saab dealer for maintenance. So when it came time for brakes, the dealer used those nice feeling Saab brakes, but OH do I ever dislike that horrible back dust on my beautiful wheels.
NearlyNormal has PBR/Axxis Ultimate brakes and Zimmerman rotors on his 9000, and I like the way his wheels stay so clean.
My question is this. Because only the front wheels get so dirty, can I have my mechanic install PBR/Axxis ultimate brakes on the front only and leave the Saab brakes on the rear? Since the last brake job was recently done, could I save a few dollars by leaving the same rotors on?
Thank you
