Meantime, I think the slightly higher-cut black waistcoat would be my choice, with a nice silver and amethyst brooch to keep the stock in place. Of course, with that same waistcoat you could also go for a full lace jabot, something that would definitely add to the dressy look.
Not only do I have a waistcoat and kilt in MacQuarrie tartan, I've got a tie and pants too! The matching jacket (and hose?) would certainly make for one a h#ll of a look, but I don't think I'm quite up to that level of sartorial challenge yet 
Given that it would take me ages to save up that kind of money, I've still got some time to warm up to that idea, though 
FYI the MacQuarrie gear came as part of a set in an eBay cornucopia, in which I sold the tweed jacket that came with them to cover the cost of the purchase:
