If you find the "match strike" recording, I'd like a copy as well.

I haven't seen many consumer solutions that do much better than you suggest.
Specialized installations and recordings though I've heard of good enough
quality they can trick the ear nicely. I used to have a match strike that
was frightening it sounded so real. If I find it I'll forward to you off
list.
I'm also assuming you're using good quality listening hardware.
