I'd go with one of the ones that you dial in 20 and 40 and the rest are set. Good luck!
    That's the Trophy Ridge React that a few people mentioned above. A friend of mine has one and it's a great sight.

    lets recap:
    you're shooting 3 pins.
    you say you gap shoot fine
    you dont hunt kansas
    you dont want to spend $200 on a new sight.
    Hmmmm....

    I know I'm old and havent changed shit on my bow in 15 years but a 5 pin sight is fucking silly.

    Hope this helps.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Stick with 3 or get a single pin sight. Went from a 3 pin to an HHA single pin sight and I like it much better then the 3 pin.
    “Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

    I use a spot Hogg single pin that I had them put two pins on. I'm good from point blank to ~33 without having to adjust, but can shoot out to 100. Went the less cluttered route when my eyes started going at 44. I used to shoot multi pins, and usually went with 5 even though I knew I'd never need 5 where I hunted in SC so that I could practice shooting at 60 yards. Practicing at 60 makes 30 seem really easy.

    That's the only reason I shoot a 5 pin sight as well, practicing at 60 really makes 30 easy. I couldn't see my pins at all on the deer I shot in August this year, just centered him up in the sight housing where I knew the 20 yard pin was and shot him.

    Stick with 3 pins and increase the draw weight on your Eva Shockey edition bow. Done
