So you're saying the bench catches the weight right at the point you'd like to put your hands- That sucks. It definitely helps to look at width and stuff like that before buying- It seems to me that unless you're willing to get another bench, you'll most likely have to adjust your grip a little.
As far as barbells go, have you checked out your local gym yet? They might have some rusty old thing they'd be willing to part with for a couple of bucks- You might even find a deal on a new bench the same way.

Go Wide grip, you will like it! Another bar won't do any good anyways.
