Should I use live sand for my entire DSB?

I have about an inch of Live Sand in my tank and as you know Live Sand is very expensive. It took me two bags to get one inch in the bottom of the tank. So I am assuming it will take me 6 more bags to get 4 inches. The problem is that that is around $170 for all of that. What do you all think, its that Arag Sea Live Sand, its really good quality.
I am still confused on whether I should have a sand bed in my new tank. I am starting with fish only then working towards a coral tank, I just want to do this right.
